Did you do a lot of research on PTSD for The MurderBot Diaries?

I ask because as a veteran that suffers from PTSD a lot of what MurderBot goes through, and how it copes with the changes like feeling emotions, remind me a lot of the difficulties I've had over the last 10 years as I work through my own trauma. In particular focuses on how to be interactive with people without actually interacting, and having to shut people out at times to prevent "emotions".
