thanks for the reply vike 17. here more from the report. mr. ross has two primary mental disorder including major depression and ptsd, these two have overlapping symtoms of detachment, isolation, decreased concentration. however they appear to be separate primary disorders in this veteran.it is not possible sto fully delineate all symptons as some symtons are interrelated to both disorders. mr. ross has developed of major depression most likely from partial complex epilesy pt . with this kind of epilesy often have high incidence of psychistric problems including major depression developing from neuroal changes in the brain and from consequence of its treatments with meds. and side effects.
