How can I be sure that I suffer from depression and not post traumatic stress?
you really need to see your gp. it's the best way to get medication if needed or given advice about counselling etc. good luck x
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.
Pure medical diagnosis
Don'tbself diagnose. See a Doctor....Depression is usually organic, due to a chemical imbalance; where some traumatic event is necessary for PTSD.
