Yes....PTSD can affect you manys years later. My father was murdered 5 years ago. I never sought therapy, just meds. I hit bottom July 15 and OD'd on Xanax (to make it "all go away"). I was hospitalized for 6 days and am now in an outpatient program 5 days a week (cognitive therapy). Please....don't hesitate to seek help, even if you don't think you need it....
Also....my memory and concentration is at a minimum.> Hullo. Can anyone tell me please if it's possible to be suffering from post traumatic stress disorder even after 2.5 years after the traumatic event? Does PTSD also cause memory loss and concentration difficulty?
