Hi.

PTSD can last for years if left untreated. I don't know what the average prognosis is for improvement and what criteria help determine this, but PTSD can be paralyzing and cause panic attacks and exacerbated depression. One event can cause PTSD. This occurs often if one is in fear for their life.

What I would advise for you is that you use an Internet search engine like Google or Yahoo to find more definitive material regarding PTSD. Begin to educate yourself. I would not rely on the paucity of my knowledge on the subject.

PTSD is very real.

What medications have you tried?

> i read the post re: PTSD ^^ and i am wondering(this is really hard for me), is it possible that PTSD from a violent rape could never go away? i have been in counseling for years and a variety of meds but i am not better. i had depression before but since, it is constant and much worse. i also have extreme anxiety in social situations that is still no better and i just wondered if this cld. be a lifelong issue. thx
