ptsd PTSD diagnosis

[jfrei]

So two years ago the VA diagnosed me with major depressive disorder with anxiety distress. Not service connected but fast forward to 2016 and I've won my appeal with my service connection for my TBI so now they say that along with my TBI my recent deployment was a stresser. So having theses two stressors will that take the diagnosis and combine it my TBI to say it is PTSD? Since my last exam said I had no TBI or stressors.

I've read it my problem is that my brain has two different issues one a mental and ones a physical problem relating to a 3.25 cm cyst in my brain that effects me not mentally but physically such as my balance and a few other issues.
