Treatment

alt
The medical method:
With the help of drugs, we can help normalize sleep, reduce anxiety levels, and correct concomitant disorders (a combination of PTSD and depressive/anxiety disorders is high). But, unfortunately, they cannot be the main way to treat the symptoms of PTSD (symptoms of avoidance and invasion), since the brain has learned these strategies and is “stuck" in these experiences. Antidepressants from the group of SSRIs and SSRIs are mainly prescribed. Sometimes an antipsychotic drug may be added.

Non-drug method:
Psychotherapy is the main method of PTSD therapy, the essence of which is to make repeated experiences a part of the past and allow you to move on without getting stuck on it. Non-drug therapies with the highest efficacy data include: Cognitive behavioral areas (CBT): prolonged exposure and cognitive process therapy, DBT protocol, cognitive therapy. Non-CBT: EMDR, narrative exposure therapy.
