BoyfriendqwithPTSD
Confident
My so was diagnosed with GAD about 10 years before his PTSD diagnosis. Ever since I’ve known him, he has had troubles with anxiety and sometimes also had symptoms of depression.
My question is, and I really do apologize if this offends anyone, but I’d like to know if any of you sufferers had any other mental health diagnoses before PTSD?
I read somewhere that if an individual has anxiety/ depression or other mental health illnesses then you’re more likely to be prone to develop PTSD. I’m not sure how correct this is?
And on this notion, what makes an individual more ‘prone’ to develop PTSD? Or is there no such thing?
As always, just trying to learn.
Hope everyone’s having a good day
