 Studies of PTSD patients in general have suggested as many as half may enjoy complete remission and the majority of the remainder will improve.
Research has led to scientifically developed treatment guidelines covering a variety of modern therapies with which clinicians have had success. Treatments range from psychological first aid to cognitive behavioral therapy. Psychopharmacology may include drugs such as Zoloft or Paxil -- with newer drugs under studies now in progress.
