The two disorders do not have to be comorbid...you don't have to have both.

Quote:
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, PTSD, is an anxiety disorder that can develop after exposure to a terrifying event or ordeal in which grave physical harm occurred or was threatened. Traumatic events that may trigger PTSD include violent personal assaults, natural or human-caused disasters, accidents, or military combat.
Quote:
More recently, with the advent of acute stress disorder as a diagnosis, dissociative symptoms have been recognized as important characteristics of this disorder. They are, however, still classified within the context of an anxiety disorder, he said.
