Treatment of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

If you think you have an Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, the first person you should see is your family doctor. A physician can determine whether the symptoms that alarm you are due to an PTSD, another medical condition, or both.

If an PTSD is diagnosed, the next step is usually seeing a mental health professional. The practitioners who are most helpful with PTSD are those who have training in cognitive-behavioral therapy and/or behavioral therapy, and who are open to using medication if it is needed.
