I would also agree that it begins in childhood, look at the change in the opinion on bullying in schools, if trauma and/or grief isn't resolved it will simply manifest.
You will then forever be vulnerable, as you just don't have the correct protective tools.

I don't think many in that thread are speaking about those with PTSD to be fair, more the ridiculous hoards of youngsters today who reckon they are 'triggered' by every little thing and that opening a milk carton should come with a trigger warning
