I was being treated for depression for over 2 years (and other stuff forever, but the depression was acute) when I kept telling my therapist I thought I wasn't getting better because there was something else wrong. I explored my symptoms and other diagnoses and finally asked about PTSD, since he was an expert in it and I seemed to "fit." He said I met all of the criteria, and then some.
