I thought I read somewhere that ptsd can cause physical paralysis due to the stress and such, but now I can’t remember exactly where I found that information. I’m writing something where I was going to have a soldier lose feeling in his legs while suffering from ptsd, but I don’t want to include it if it’s not possible. Thanks!
Remember the brain is very powerful and we haven’t even touched on what the possibilities are. In the same note physical handicaps are very different from mental handicaps. On the news lately there was a young girl that sneezes once every 5 seconds or something, while some think it’s a "rare" disease, others think it’s a tick. Physical properties in a disorder can fixed though physical cures but mental disorders are only fixable by verbal therapy. Sounds to me like a "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby" when he thought he couldn’t drive anymore hahaha.

It is possible. Often people can be paralyzed by fear, however in many combat situations adrenaline counteracts the stresses of combat. PTSD can cause a sort of delayed release that could come into effect years later.
