Actually they gave me no reason, just told me that PTSD is an anxiety disorder like panic disorder or social anxiety disorder, and everyone who has an anxiety disorder has a predisposition to it. The psychiatric nurse even used her own experiences as an example to me... she was in a severe car accident as a teen and one of her friends died. However, she didn't develop PTSD. So therefore, she said, she was not predisposed. Like her experience and mine could be compared!!! :boxem:

I'm trying to wrap my mind around the logic behind the doctor's words, but I'm unable to. Probably because I can't find the logic. I'd like to see that doctor go through what you've been through and 'get over it' in a few months. Jerk-wad!

I'm sooo happy to hear you say that, because I felt like that for a long time and was basically criticized for it and told to accept the fact that I had a genetic predisposition. They even said my depression was clinical, which I fought, because I always thought clinical depression was there regardless of your life circumstances. Whereas with me, I only got depressed after what happened, so I figured my depression was directly related to my experience, and that therefore I had a
reason for being depressed. Duh. But my logic seemed to escape them.... I guess they didn't want to be wrong.
