Good luck with assembling your case. What ever Pd eventually turns out to be, you can be sure it is a spectrum of disorders with many causes. This seems to be a very good candidate, given what looks like a pretty clear 'cause and effect' process. As always though the burden of proof is with the 'victim', a word I use with caution, because of the psycho-emotive connotations it has in medicine. Let's hope that the people who do the research are unassailable and strong-minded.
