Just wanted to let you know that PTSD is something we have been discussing over on the depression site here at Health Central. There are a good many people on the depression site who suffer from multiple disorders. Just follow this link to the site. I am a writer and community leader for that site and...there are a lot of people there who can probably relate to what you are going through. So do stop on by.
My best advice is to read as much as you can about your diagnoses and get the support you need. You are not alone!

Thank your for your post. It is possible for someone to have more than one mental illness. This is considered to be comorbid or co-existing conditions. PTSD is considered to be an anxiety disorder. However, rather than accepting online screening tests, you should speak with your doctor and ask for a complete psychological evaluation. This would provide you with an accurate diagnosis in order to create a treatment plan based on your situation. Anxiety, bipolar and ADHD can have overlapping symptoms so it would be best to have a doctor review your symptoms and help determine your diagnosis.
