The "giftedness" is a crock. That word is thrown around and given to almost anyone especially children. It is meant to raise self esteem and counteract various cultural influences. It is a fault of a psychologists emphasis on the individual. Just ignore that part. Believe me, I'm walking around with the label of "intellectual giftedness" but, often times I'm very stupid.

But the PTSD diagnosis could make more sense. Many people are misdiagnosed with depression, anxiety or bipolar when what is really happening is a product of a harsh life, poor choices, poor coping and abuse.

Good luck!

It doesn't matter what they call you as long as what you're doing about your problems is helping.
