I wanted to add what my doctor spoke to me about today - I know there is not much weighting in one persons perception - but I believe him to be a very good doctor!

I told him about this forum and about the types of information that there was on PTSD. He agreed that there is an ongoing debate about PTSD being curable and that was highly dependant on the school of thought that a proffesional belongs to as much as anything.

He was a doctor in the Royal Air Force and treated/worked with POW's - ultimatley he said that some did recover and some did not - those who did not where individuals who had experienced the worst types of trauma whilst imprisoned.

So I guess alot of this comes down to a persons experience and the support they receive alongside their determination. I do realsie that life is much more complex than that!

I guess if you have the odds staked against you like not having any emotional attachmetns with people who can love and support you, that your fight would be much harder than those who do have this.

Anyway, I just wanted to add that! I DO BELIEVE THAT IT IS TREATABLE AND CURABLE -it is about my strength of mind! That does nto neagate that I am struggling and realy struggling right now but that frame of mind has got to be a good start to healing?
