Will i definitely get ptsd symptoms from being domestically abused?

No: Many factors play a part in whether a person will get ptsd. Some of these are risk factors that make a person more likely to get ptsd. Other factors, called resilience factors, can help reduce the risk of the disorder. There is a very good discussion of these risk factors as well as the symptoms of ptsd at http://www.Nimh.Nih.Gov/health/publications/post-traumatic-stress-disorder-ptsd.

No: You received one excellent response already. In his book "man's search for meaning", viktor frankl ponders the issue of what allows one person to survive atrocities when another will not. The severity & chronicity of the trauma are major factors as well as co-occurring medical or mental problems, support systems and the person's inherent strengths.

Higher risk: Those who are being domestically abused stand a higher risk of PTSD dependent upon the level of abuse. PTSD results from being put in the position of impending loss of life or inability to scape, typically. Ask your self if the abuse is at that level of severity.

Domestic abuse: In the trauma treatment world it is more important for us to address specific symptoms. When you have experienced trauma (it is your perspective that matters) I most recommend EMDR Therapy as an effective therapy that works faster and is much less distressing to patients. But I remind people that whatever choices you made, you made many more right ones than wrong ones because you are alive today!
