PTSD occurs alongside many other diagnoses. The incident that brings on PTSD often is a causitive factor in other difficulties as well. Even after PTSD issues are resolved (if you are lucky enough to have that happen), the co-occuring difficulties will persist unles they are also diagnosed and addressed.
Unfortunately, many therapists have little success with PTSD treatment. I have heard that EMDR is sometimes effective.
