PTSD is a more complex mental disorder than it may seem. However, as it arises from the impact of experiencing trauma, it can be completely treated with effective and appropriate psychotherapy methods. The two most commonly used approaches are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

Frequently Asked Questions
How is PTSD treated?
What happens if PTSD is left untreated?
You may live your entire life under the emotional burden left by the trauma. Some people believe they have managed to suppress it well, but what they are actually doing is adapting to their new state and starting to normalize it. They might convince themselves that life is just like this and that everyone is a little unhappy. This is what we refer to as psychological defense mechanisms.
Can other diagnoses accompany PTSD?
Untreated PTSD can be accompanied by depression and anxiety disorders. Another diagnosis that should not be overlooked is Dissociative Identity Disorder.
How long does PTSD psychotherapy take?
It can vary between 20-80 sessions depending on the nature of the trauma experienced. Predicting the exact number of sessions in advance is quite challenging.
