There is only one way to know for sure, and that is to be tested by a professional doctor/psychologist. However, some signs of PTSD include: unusual irritability/anger, feelings of guilt and hopelessness, losing interest in previously enjoyed hobbies, unusual nervousness, self-harming, clinical depression, feelings of fear, flashbacks, hallucinations, panic attacks, severe anxiousness, trust issues, inability to sleep normally (insomnia), frequent night terrors/nightmares, thoughts of suicide (please get help right away), stressful feelings, blackouts, unusual headaches, isolation, and lack of emotional response. Like I said, there is only one way to find out for sure. And, if you or someone you know is having suicidal thoughts, please call 1-800-273-8255 (U.S.)

Often time you won’t know if someone has it. I have PTSD and suffer from nightmares, flask backs, panic attacks to trauma related stimuli (not a veteran so my triggers are not common) and many others.
