| When I first started attending Veteran groups in the early 1980's I was reminded of the following many times: No. 1 PTSD is chronic
I now know that you can learn to manage PTSD if you are willing
to do what it takes. Medication, Therapy, pulling your head out of your
ass,No. 2 PTSD is progressive No. 3 PTSD is incurable I accepted the first
two prepositions but for some reason I could not accept the idea that
PTSD was incurable. How could anyone know that
PTSD was incurable. Did they personally know every Vet that had ever experienced PTSD. How could anyone know if some joe blow from Bumfuck Egypt had developed a method that worked for them. Over 20 years later a shrink, Dr. Patterson, from the Boise Idaho Veterans hospital would offer a peak at another view of PTSD. Dr. Patterson would tell me that, " PTSD is incurable, unless you do something about it." are all acceptable first steps. Note I said you can manage PTSD, not cure it. It is like, you can look at the pictures in Playboy but you can't sleep with the person in the picture. I will use this section of the Buffgrunt website to link to resources that can help you to better understand PTSD.
