I was told once that I may have PTSD because of a circle chart that shows the three main characteristics of PTSD. I had one symptom from each circle, (chronic depression, anxiety and ADD), the one thing I did find out is that it is treatable and does not have to be a lifelong thing. I looked up some treatments that are used for PTSD and here they are

Generally, initial treatment involves professional counseling which can reduce symptoms by helping you deal with the traumatic event, reconnect with other people, and resume a normal lifestyle. Certain types of counseling that may effectively treat symptoms of PTSD include: 7

Cognitive-behavioral therapy.
Exposure therapy.
Brief psychodynamic psychotherapy.
Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing. The benefits of this therapy have not been proven.
Family therapy, which can help support the whole family.
Self-help or support group therapy. This therapy shows some promise in treating children but has not yet been proven beneficial for adults with PTSD. 8
