I think there is a diagnosis for current stress--"Acute Stress Disorder" (which turns into PTSD if it persists).

I don't think you'l find much agreement for your argument against PTSD here, as many folks found the diagnosis a great relief. I was certain that my symptoms, which had haunted me for more than a decade, meant that I was crazy. If you are suffering from Traumatic Brain Injury, that is another issue entirely, and I'm sorry to hear that you feel the doctors have ignored that in favor of a PTSD diagnosis and approach to treatment. People experience different things as traumatic; what is considered traumatic for some may be experienced by others as diffcult but not overwhelmingly so. Good luck n your search for treatment.
