Good morning. Thank you for your presentation.
My comments will follow on the question my colleague Mr. O'Toole asked. This is something that is of great personal interest.
Dr. Merali, you spoke about treatment after a PTSD diagnosis. You said that a third of people who go into treatment are successfully treated, that a third has limited success and that the remaining third has no success at all.
You also said that technology and research made it possible to better predict who would respond the best to a treatment, and it's important to note that this varies from person to person.
Are there pre-existing conditions, such as trauma, that exacerbate this disorder in certain individuals? It would be good if the research or the discoveries that have been made could be used to determine basically which individuals have such conditions. If that was the case, perhaps we could raise awareness about this.
Could you speak more about that?
My question is also for Dr. Aiken.
