Notices

Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now.

Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year.

Default Diagnosed Yesterday With PTSD
Hi,

I don't really know what to say while I am writing this. I am diagnosed with major depressive disorder that is severe. I was diagnosed yesterday as having PTSD. I really don't understand all of this stuff. Can anyone help me?

Welcome jaxx

There are plenty of details about PTSD in the 'information' section of the forum.
Have a good read around - I'm sure you will find lots of answers to the questions that I'm sure you have buzzing around your brain. Good luck and take your time to absorb all the information!
