I was diagnosed with acute stress disorder following a domestic violence assault. I have flashbacks and nightmares and get startled by all kinds of noises. I am seeing a psychiatrist and I really hope that my condition doesn't evolve into PTSD.

Will my Panic Disorder due to meth overdose which then evolved into worse GAD and depression for 2 years now will have a chance to evolve into PDST. I have verbal traumatic experience since childhood plus I am fat and ugly. Does PTSD has psychotic features?
