What is the treatment for P.T.S.D.
In recent years, researchers from around the world have dramatically increased our understanding of what causes PTSD and how to treat it. Hundreds of thousands of Veterans have gotten treatment for PTSD—and treatment works.
Medications are often prescribed, psychiatric visits with a psychiatric care-takers/doctors are often suggested and then there is the service dog, emotional support dog treatment that we at Touching the Lives of Americans ™ and Rescue Me Corporation™ {Incorporated} endorse.
At the end of the day each person is an individual and needs to find out what works for them as far as treatment.
