Title: Is Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Temporary or Permanent?
Post by: Ciri on January 03, 2022, 09:43:05 AM
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD, is a result of painful and traumatic situations like being diagnosed with serious health condition, long term physical or mental abuse, including sexual abuse, sudden sexual or physical assaults, serious accidents, losing loved ones, loss of child, abortion, etc.

So, the question is does post traumatic stress go away? Do you have to love with this all your remaining life.

Well, PTSD does not last long, and might even go away without treatment. Let say someone is going through PTSD after losing a child, but when the person has another child, there will not be any traumatic experience. However, some times PTSD can last for many years, but eventually with passing time they will feel better.
