Page 73 - Total War on PTSD

Even in this brief treatment summary, it is clear that PTSD is a highly complex disorder that can be challenging to treat. Despite its challenges, PTSD is highly treatable and symptoms do progressively improve over the course of recovery, to the point they resolve and the Veteran no longer meets criteria for PTSD. The journey can clearly be arduous and it takes a great deal of commitment on the part of the Veteran to overcome these symptoms and to regain equilibrium. These pages are considered an overview of some of the key elements of treatment in traditional therapy, but are clearly not exhaustive in nature. There are many excellent adjunct treatments that can also help reduce the symptoms of PTSD, many of which that are covered throughout this book.
