Abstract:
PTSD is a severe and chronic psychiatric condition. Because of the complex symptoms, no single treatment is effective. Pharmacologic treatment is an integral component of a multidisciplinary approach that addresses the psychological, social, and spiritual dimensions of PTSD. Psychopharmacologic agents provide symptomatic relief and are beneficial in managing other comorbid psychiatric conditions. Primary care physicians can base treatment decisions on the patient's prevailing symptoms. Specialized psychiatric consultation may be needed in difficult and complicated cases.
