Reply to "Mourning & PTSD"

Jan DollarModerator, RN, retired

PTSD is a distinct set of symptoms. It is not uncommon among those who suffered prolonged illness. I agree that a fascination with medical dramas and information does not equate with PTSD. They might if they involved intrusive thoughts, obsessions, and nightmares that interferred with your ability to carry on with your daily life.

Having some neurotic tendencies does not necessarily rise to the level of needing professional help. On the other hand, if you feel you are losing your ability to cope with with your losses, then maybe it does.
