The purpose of PTSD treatment is to help you regain control over your life. The best evidence-based treatment for PTSD is a fast acting form of psychotherapy; called EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing)
However, it can also include medication. When both forms of treatment are combined, symptoms have been known to reduce significantly.
A combined course of medication and psychotherapy is also known to aid with other symptoms such as anxiety, depression and the misuse of drugs and alcohol. Regardless of the treatment you end up using, it’s vital to recognise the fact that you don’t need to deal with PTSD alone.
