Hello, am glad for you that you have a diagnosis...but that's what it is, a diagnosis.....you are too important to have a "label."

Did your doctor, hopefully, who is a psychiatrist, explain what the difference was between your diagnosis and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder? Or are they same, but just different names?

In any case...HURRAH! You seem so relieved to have received this news from your doctor. Have you discussed with him/her what course of care you will receive to help you?

What is ptsd

[Victoria1968 in reply to Victoria1968]

Yes I had a break down 3 and years ago and they put me on pills well they made me worse .

PTSD = Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. There's a group here for that. I'm getting over that... I'm self diagnosed. I jump still at loud noises. Sometimes not so loud noises. Like the telephone. Like a man getting argumentative or an attitude like my late husband with dementia did. It was torture the way he would startle me and then carry on.

I can't find stress trauma disorder, I get PTSD only. Can anybody else find it? I wonder if they are one and the same.

[Hidden in reply to BonnieSue]

Bonne Sue, I asked the same question in my reply. PTSD appears to have become a bit like the "diagnosis of the day" in recent years....but requires some very different approaches than "just pills". Have never heard of stress trauma disorder. Really am hoping Victoria1968 is receiving a proper diagnosis, as she states she won't take the pills prescribed.

[BonnieSue in reply to Hidden]

Yes, I noticed. Thanks.

[Victoria1968]

That was 3 years ago they wanted me to take pills .

[BonnieSue in reply to Victoria1968]

So what has happened since then? Have you learned anything more about your stress trauma disorder? How about what your doctor wants you to do to get better besides taking pills?

[Victoria1968]

Yes sue

I am learning to deal with my past better and seeing a and natural doctor and that helps I still have really bad days .
