      How does being diagnosed help though? Diagnosis doesn't matter, only treatment matters. Find a therapist specializing in PTSD, that helps a lot. Med-wise PTSD would have treatment similar like a lot of mood disorders or anxiety.

        @blueflovver I figured it would be easier to find a therapist specializing in trauma if I had a diagnosis.

          @Mimzy idk if you're in US but here diagnosis is done by psychiatrist and you find therapist completely separately from psychiatrist so no, diagnosis won't help you find therapist
