From what I have seen I think the word cure is too loosely used. One doc can medicate you and tweak your meds so your symptoms do not show and considered "cured". Or you can go as far as you can in threapy without meds and get to where you are on a functioning level and be considered cured. Fact of the matter you learn to cope for the most part or it is masked. Thing is you don't always cope it will still be there and eventually it will seem like more good days than bad and continue with more good, he won't be this bad off forever. But there will still be slips back and bad days where a trigger will hit and panic will come.

Triggers will be triggers, they just ease in time to less severity I am learning through my own process. I developed many phobias during this and simple phobias can be cured through exposure as long as you continue to work not slide back and continue to face those fears. Some of my phobias are improving vastly because I am forced to face them as nobody can get out of the house except me to shop and run errands right now with hubs laid up. A couple weeks ago it was just unheard of and I could not face the outside world or drive except to get my kids to school, because I feared the bus more than my driving.

Some phobias he may have developed can be fixed, PTSD as a whole I don't believe so as scars are too deep, scars are scars and never go away but may fade in time as to not be as noticable. My thoughts and opinion on it any way! I know my journey to living a somewhat normal life again is still in the young stages.
