Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.

PTSD is treated with a combination of medication and therapy. Medications include antidepressants such as Zoloft, Lexapro, Prozac, and Paxil. A medication for nightmares is prazosin. Therapies that have been proven effective include exposure therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). If you are in need of a CBT therapist, I offer this type of therapy through this website at my private link:
