I've been having issues figuring out when it started and meet with my psychiatrist this week. Hopefully to discuss when it began I was diagnosed with depressive disorder in 2014 due to watching my friend die and again when it was filmed on Baghdad ER. When that happened I was dx right before my sTBI that I was acting reckless in behavior and shutting my family off from my life. Then my sTBI occurred and exacerbated it to the point where I've made very bad impulsive decisions to this day and I have no short term memory. My TBI is already rated with PTSD lumped in there but if my AD began before my TBI is this something they will lump in with that? VES has contracted my psych exam with the same doctor who lumped my ptsd with my TBI and she missed several issues with the ptsd exam I'm sure to bring up... but if she sees her mistakes is to late to amend her report to the VA I mean she said I had ptsd but couldn't speculate which symptoms were the TBI or PTSD?Maybe I should call VES to see if they can send me to a Neurologist/psychiatrist one with better abilities to differentiate?
