Is It Possible...

[Hashi]

It's a good question.

I have PTSD and other diagnoses but not a personality disorder. I don't have Dissociative Identity Disorder either, even though that's expected for someone with my history.

Maybe a majority of people have an associated disorder, but that doesn't mean that everyone does.

...and it's possible that some of the other coexisting disorders are because of (or symptoms of) PTSD.

Ain't that the bloody truth!!!!!

Far to much freaking misdiagnosis going on by Drs who don't know enough about the complexities trauma via childhood abuse where it's prolonged. Sometimes the 'complex' nature of PTSD caused by such trauma is too hard for them to easily put into a box, so they just create more boxes - boxes that don't even fit but they just have to be able to. Tick those damn boxes huh.

At the end if the day, don't let boxes define you.
