anxiety disorder vs ptsd

Can someone have Separation Anxiety Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder, Selective Mutism, and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) all at the same time?

Thanks for the suggestion. Post traumatic stress disorder is a type of anxiety disorder. We already offer an anxiety/panic tracker. Does this not meet your needs? If not, we can add or modify the tracker to better meet your needs. Please tell us what does or does not work for you.

I don't know that it can cause PTSD. I could see how it would cause depression or anxiety but PTSD is a pretty serious disorder. Not downplaying that event I am sure it was tough but I can't in all good conscious tell you that it likely caused PTSD. However I am not a doctor I just have PTSD. I acquired this beautiful disorder from a lifetime of trauma starting with sexual, mental, and physical abuse leading up to my two deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan.

I am a veteran with PTSD, Major depressive disorder. Panic attacks, and Agoraphobia. My main question is, When I get These panic attacks, I become dizzy to the point where I actally fall to the ground. Is dizzness related to any of the above diagnoses.

This is confusing, so it's had to answer. PTSD is an anxiety disorder connected to a specific event. The treatment for this is to have you face the specific event so you can get over it. But you're describing an entire childhood. Was there a specific event, or did you have generally a bad childhood that's left you stuck? I ask, because the therapy treatment is different.

PTSD is triggered by a traumatic event or series of traumatic events, and it seems like if that happened to a person with chronic adjustment disorder, he or she could get PTSD, just the same way a person without chronic adjustment disorder could.

I took it for Generalized Anxiety disorder, my mom still takes it for full blown panic attack disorder and both of us know it may help you fall asleep but it won't necessarily help you get quality sleep. Have you tried any alternatives? I understand by the way, I have depression, anxiety, PTSD, all kinds of fun stuff!

Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) does not 'go away' and is not 'cured', like the rest of the mental disorders we see so much of these days like depression, anxiety, etc. These disorders must be MANAGED, with counseling, medication, or both. Ask your doctor about this.

I am uncertain only the Doctor may be able to answer but I do know that some meds prescribed for anxiety, depression and PTSD can have side effects of Hallucinations, so if you are taking anything check out the dose with the prescribing Doc and ask about changing it ..

This tracker will be especially useful for those with anxiety or panic attacks, generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), agoraphobia, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), or phobias. You will be able to track the occurrence and intensity of attacks, related symptoms, any treatments you may be taking, and you will be able to write journal entries to record additional details.

Post-traumatic stress disorder is a type of anxiety disorder as I understand so yes it can be one reason your heart failure developed. I strongly believe mine happened because of high stress level for years and very high for a few months. Even with family history, viral infection, and long time not treated high blood pressure that all also factors, and I had them all ,if the stress level wasn’t that high that I had I probably never get down that suddenly and badly.

I have a very bad anxiety problem. I was diagnosed with PTSD and anxiety. I've been on 80 mg of Prozac for years. One day I feel great then I'll slump in depression or very angry. This lasts days. My doctor is weening me off Prozac and started 10 mg of lexapro for a week then I increase to 20 mg and still dropping the dose of Prozac daily. Can I take the lexapro in the a.m. with my other pills? It says to take lexapro at night but what's the difference.

However, I think I may have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, due to someone very close to me sexually abusing me twice as a teen. Is this a possibility and if so, do I need to see someone for it?

sorry what your going through I was diagnosis with PTSD and conversion disorder and CANBDD because what happen to me in my past can I asked whats DID thanks

Medical trauma is a big cause of anxiety. Anxiety feeds off our fears and worries so when you worry that you may be going to have another seizure it amps up your anxiety creating more symptoms. Therapy can help you to cope with what has happened and how to deal better with it starting now and in the future. Do they know what caused the seizure? If so are you being treated?

Dissociative Identity Disorder and other forms of Dissociation, PTSD, depression, Boarderline Personality Disorder, Anxiety, Sleep problems, OCD, and so on and so on. Medically it would probably depend on the what exactly occured. I am only saying all of this as a person who is dealing with it, has been for most of the 2000's, and who has been dealing with a mood disorder for a lot longer than i care to say.

I don't know who prescribed this medication for you, but I would get a second opinion ASAP! If you have "simple" anxiety such as GAD, (Generalized Anxiety Disorder) SAD, (Social Anxiety Disorder) health anxiety or if you experience anxiety or panic attacks, you are being treated with an inappropriate and dangerous medication. Lurasidone, (Latuda) is used to treat the symptoms of SCHIZOPHRENIA and is in a class of medications called ATYPICAL ANTIPSYCHOTICS.

This tracker will be especially useful for those with anxiety or panic attacks, generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), agoraphobia, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), or phobias.

I had a very bad one 6 months ago,and i am not doing any better,i had a panic attack and everytime i go out i feel detached from reality and i feel the same feelings over again,till i start to get anxious,even to panic,its scary,i know anxiety is a part of PTSD...i dont think its just simply GAD,i think its anxious paired with PTSD,any ideas? any help would make me really happy guys.

i have recently been diagnosed with scitzoaffective disorder. i also have anxiety disorder and ptsd. i am just now learning about these illnesses. i hear voices sometimes even though i get a shot of invega for that. i also think i have adhd. tring to get disability. i just can't function on a daily basis like a normal person.

I have been diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder stemming from being in a long term abusive relationship. I currently see a hypnotherapist once a week and a therapist. I have been very unwell and the improvements for me seem so small yet everyone around me see's a bug difference. On a day to day basis, i awake early and unable to relax. I am teaching myself to awake to positive affirmations. Throughout the day, my body is tense and rigid and I suffer with strong palpatations.

Sounds like classic anxiety/panic. When you were diagnosed with PTSD, did you get into therapy? I also have PTSD and most people think that's just another way of saying anxiety, but it's a far more insidious disorder. The death of your grandfather is undoubtably a part of what triggered your panic attack. The fact that you can let your sadness and grief out by crying is a very healthy way of coping with his loss, but the anxiety and panic are coming from something deeper.

This said, I think it important that you tell your parents what is going on and see if you can get in to see a therapist about it so you can sort out the dreams and hopefully resolve it. Take care. Keep us posted on how you are doing.

Thank you for your response. I have never heard of the treatment you are describing? EMDR has something to do with eye movement. It re-organizes your thought processess. The reason I don't want to take all the medications they try to put me on is because I have bi-polar disorder (which it took them 35 years to diagnose!), severe PTSD, used to have severe dissociative disorder, and have borderline personality disorder. I've been this way since I was a little kid, and I'm 55 now.

I have Chronic Hep C too-Genotype 1 & am interested in Vertex. Do you or does anyone know anything about this trtmnt yet?! I think it still needs to be passed by the FDA. Zoloft made me more angry in the past & gave me the runs after a week being on it. I was on Paxil after that & that didn't work either. I think I found the right anxiety/depression(I have both-PTSD). I'm on Prozac 20mg. I've been feeling better, but this week am pretty down ugh :-( .
