Welcome Home! Like you, I **very** much appreciate the gift that Androtics and it’s people are to us. Over time, I have also come to love and respect the core people of this forum. What I have seen of you, I think you might also. One of the things that I have discovered here is that as long as one is willing to do the searches (few are) almost any subject related to [pheromones](https://a314.com/) and human behavior has been discussed in depth several times, (if not several dozen times) often by _very knowledgable_ people. As to PTSD, the longest thread to date was started Copycat. She is an EMT and was concerned about the emergency personel around her. > [@Soldiers and cops: PTSD](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/soldiers-and-cops-ptsd/19264): > > Hi all, I’m having a philosophic conversation in a class with a peer who has training in psychology and neurology. S/he says that PTSD is currently being treated as a physical problem rather than a metaphysical problem; medications are ineffective and these people need existential treatment. I’ve seen a lot of awful things on the ambulance and at crime scenes. It took awhile to learn to disconnect myself from the event. The key, for me, was to consider the elements independently. On arrival, … The other threads with a major emphasis on PTSD are: > [@Do pheromones help to overcome depressions?](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/do-pheromones-help-to-overcome-depressions/4761): > > I have a friend who is always in a state of depression and tried to commit suicide twice last year. Last night when I called her, she showed the symptoms. She used to come and stay with me for a few days and leave. But I also noticed that everytime she spent her time with me, she’s happy, very talkative (in nature she’s a quiet type), like to tease me and shows no signs of depression, but when she returns to her town, she becomes moody.

Not quite sure how just yet and I am still learning to read hits. I do however seem to feel self effects on most products I’ve tried thus far. A314, [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/) 2x, and Turn up The Heat smells real good. Anyways, I was wondering does anybody have experience with using pheromones to promote better sleep?

These stories reverberate with emotions congruent to their themes. But occasionally, patients who clearly have problems and are in great emotional pain tell noncongruent stories. They will insist that they have no problems, that life is fine and that they have no idea what is wrong. Their story is that they have… We are fortunate to have a great many medical professionals in this community. Some of them are very advanced researchers, some are everyday practicioners, and every other possibility in between, in both physical and psychological medicine.

However the reality is that mones on their own can only do so much and mainly ‘enhance’ what is already there between you and a girl.
