PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) can cause many problems if not treated, either by seeing your GP for medication or using a Counseling Service.

YES. It is directly linked to your depression. It is the opposite of the sense of well being, where your mind is constantly thinking about a certain problem. It is very important to see a counsellor immediately as untreated depression can lead to other more severe problem, both to self are family and friends.
