While the classic definition of PTSD includes symptoms of flashbacks or dreams of the traumatic event, some of the symptoms associated with PTSD aren't specifically related to memory of the event, and can include memory problems, inability to concentrate, and enhanced startle reflex.
I have no memory of my accident either. I worry less about specific DSM-IV type disorder labels and more about how I can work toward resolving symptoms.
