How to identify ptsd

nanamidraws March 11th, 2021

Hello, I've been thinking recently about how my trauma has affected me and I constantly have flashbacks to when it happened when something bad happens that even slightly reminds me of it and I have a few triggers that can cause me to start crying uncontrollably or disassociate, I also sometimes have dreams about the trauma but their always warped. I was wondering if these could be symptoms of ptsd and if I should consider trying to get diagnosed

Dear Nanami:

Those are definitely some of the symptoms of PTSD.

You should try to get a professional diagnosis.

I have uploaded the whole PTSD diagnostic criteria HERE taken from the DSM-5, the latest "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders", which is the reference used worldwide by professionals to identify these kind of conditions.

Please come back to me by posting down here if you have any further questions.

All the best !

Marcelo.
