Can You Recover From PTSD

[JonSnow]

It is absolutely possible to recover from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). In fact, in most cases PTSD can go away without seeking medical help. However, in some cases, you need medical help. If have lived with PTSD for a long time, you will have to seek medical help because if untreated PTSD can damage your brain.

The part of the brain which handles fear and emotion is more active in people with PTSD. When you have lived with PTSD for a long time the part of the brain that controls memory becomes smaller and you will have difficulty in distinguishing facts and fictions.
Some people recover within 6 months, and for some people it might be a chronic condition and take years to recover.

I think the biggest issue is admitting you have PTSD & going from there. Those who are in denial will have a tougher time coping. Many people think they shouldn't have PTSD as there are others who have gone through something worse. But a mental disorder can affect any person, any age, at any time. Comparing yourself to others doesn't do any good as we are all unique & different.

It will be a long and difficult process but you can heal. It wont heal the entire thing but it's good to at least get some help with it.
