Although PTSD may be difficult to diagnose, there are treatment options available
. Therapy and medication have both been shown to improve the conditions of PTSD patients. The goal with treatment is to get the patient to have a normal emotional response, or even none at all, to memories and reminders of their traumatic experience. PTSD is caused by any kind of life-altering experience and forces sufferers to relive the terror and fear they felt while it was happening. With treatment, patients will be able to continue their lives without constant fear and anxiety.
