PTSD is the one of the type of anxiety disorder.
In PTSD anxiety related to past traumatic events, flashback, hyper vigilance and avoiding to that situations.


Stressed out all times suggest PTSD combine with GAD means generalized anxiety disorder they both are in same spectrum.

Sometimes it combines with depression which make you irritable.


Proper treatment is must.

This kind of condition can be treated with mild dose of benzodiazapine and mild dose of SSRI

In SSRI mild dose of escitalopram, sertaline and paroxetine like drug is very useful. But before taking this medicines you have to consult psychiatrist and evaluate your self.

After proper evaluation ,he will guide you further.
