Can you help me determine whether i have ptsd or not?

Sorry -- no: I'm sorry, but determining whether you have ptsd or not involves an extensive in-person interview process. This online forum is not suitable for it. You'll need to seek out and work with a psychiatrist, psychologist, or other mental health professional in your own geographic locale. Be well.

PTSD: Go see your family doc who can make diagnosis for you and offer you treatment or refer you to psychiatrist.

Comprehensive eval: I agree w dr pappas. I worked in the civilian sector briefly where i took care of a number of men who had served in korea & vietnam. The men had fulminate, classic ptsd. All had been under the care of psychiatrists for years. None were diagnosed with ptsd & none had optimal medication regimens. None received talking therapy. This why it is imperative to be evaluated by someone with ptsd expertise.

Symptom inquiry: The doctor should inquire if the patient has been in a situation where the patient believes loss of life or catastrophic injury was imminent, and with no means of escape. Symptoms from these experiences include, hypervigilance, sleep loss, nightmares, reliving the trauma, social withdrawal, anhedonia, temper outbursts, emotional withdrawal, feelings of unfinished business, and adrenalin seeking.
