[QUOTE="klmno, post: 377032, member: 3699"] [url]http://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/publications/post-traumatic-stress-disorder-ptsd/what-are-the-symptoms-of-ptsd.shtml[/url] The categories listed here are the primary ones- this is put out by our National Institute of Mental Health and give the guidelines listed on most reputable PTSD websites. Some treatments help some but not others- the most consistent contributor to treatment seems to be CBT, whether or not a person also benefits from medications, EMDR, group therapy, etc. in my humble opinion- and this is speculative only- the "add-on" treatments that are effective for each individual person might have something to do with their own personal triggers and symptoms. It doesn't list this on that particular page, but the symptoms have to persist for a certain period of time- 6 months [I]I think[/I]. If you had previous trauma in your life that caused PTSD symptoms, you are much more likely to develop them again if 1) you experience another traumatic event, 2) you are forced to "relive" (as in tesify) the original trauma, 3) something else I don't remember- sorry.... you can poke around the web and find more. If I find that one great link again, I'll post it, too. It was by a therapist but had very informative data on it. [/QUOTE]
