PTSD is PTSD Rick, and not all have the same symptoms at once, though will often suffer them all at times, or if unlucky enough, mostly at once. You said in your original post, that you are a bit unsure about the diagnosis as such. Why? From the very little I know about your trauma, I cannot make an assessment for myself to whether you have it or not, but you said you do in your first post, diagnosed by physicians, and that is what is factual, regardless my own opinion. I can say, that physicians at present are in a PTSD frenzy, ie. labelling the world with PTSD for everything and anything traumatic within their life, though in fact; most actually suffer what every human being will during the course of their life, being PTS, without the disorder basically, which is a range of PTSD symptoms, anxiety, maybe depression, social withdrawal and so forth, but not to the severity of what a persons with PTSD would have, where the chemical imbalance within the brain has taken effect, and basically made a persons life near unbearable to survive.

There is one way, and one way only to actually know whether you have PTSD, and that is an MRI brain scan. The scan will clearly show the actual chemical imbalance that has taken effect, thus confirming an actual PTSD diagnosis. For most, it would never be needed, because the literal severity of the symptomatic range, scale and intensity clearly outlines the disorder, though those who sit possibly on the border, in that they have a range of the symptoms, though very low key as such, maybe one distinctive, but not life crippling, then an MRI would solve it opposed to a physicians estimated scale of probability, guesstimation, experience and luck.

For two physicians to diagnose you with PTSD though, chances are, you have PTSD, because you have told them the facts of trauma, you would have filled out a scale of intensity or verbalised it to the physician, they would have gauged your actual persona during response, outlining whether your basically holding back and attempting to suppress symptoms or events.

Rick, why do you feel that way, ie. walked into the wrong session?
