PTSD and Adjustment Disorder

Jim,

I have a question that you may be able to give me an opinion on. In 1968 I was diagnosed with Adult Situational Reaction. Since in 1968, PTSD did not exist at that time, could you tell me if you think that is the same as being diagnosed with PTSD

This may explain it better than I could. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adjustment_disorder
