Could I have ADHD?

Post Reply New Topic

When I had severe PTSD it looked like ten disorders combined and my psychiatrist at that time thought I'm severely mentally disturbed. I still have some rest symptoms left who mostly present themself in paranoid thought patterns, but most of the other symptoms vanished. PTSD can cause a whole bunch of symptoms and I dunno since when you're suffering from PTSD, but my opinion about PTSD is, that there is propably no way to tell for sure if you're really borderline or bipolar in addition so long you've many PTSD symptoms or those other disorders are severe enough to be sure, like a full blown mania or something. Also autism, ADHD and PTSD, all three of them, can go along with a mood instability and during that time of severe PTSD I also had positive bipolar tests and mood fluctuations what I usually don't have anymore.

My occasional mood swings are probably the result of the 3 then. I dont think I have BPD anyway.

Aspergers can often have ADHD. It's worth talking to your doc about.

Very true. A lot of times people act like PTSD is just the tried of symptoms (hypervigilance, flashbacks and avoidance) listed in the DSM, but it's a whole lot more than that.

Plus, the PTSD criteria are too restrictive. People who have suffered a trauma and meet only part of the criteria can be just as impaired as those meeting full criteria.
