I went to an inpatient center for a 60 day mood and anxiety program. My diagnosis was always depression or bi polar. The center's team diagnosed me with ptsd. It was kind of a relief.

Don'tbself diagnose. See a Doctor....Depression is usually organic, due to a chemical imbalance; where some traumatic event is necessary for PTSD.
