involves helping the person learn skills to manage
symptoms and develop ways of coping. Therapy also
aims to teach the person and their family about the
disorder, and help the person work through the fears
associated with the traumatic event. A variety of

of the person with PTSD can have an affect on other
family members.

person to share thoughts, fears, and feelings with other
people who have experienced traumatic events.

 memories and is now also used to treat phobias.

patients are unwilling or not in a position to engage in

psychotherapy
patients have a serious comorbid condition or
associated symptoms, for example severe depression

stress disorder is not well supported by research

CONCLUSION

Post-traumatic stress disorder is a common mental

health disorder that can cause severe distress and
disability. It is frequently under diagnosed so
screening for it could improve detection. There is a
growing body of clinical research that has led to
treatment guidelines that consistently recommend
trauma-focused psychological therapies as the most
effective first-line treatment. When pharmacotherapy
is required selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors
should be used first.
