Let's put this into context somewhat for you. At the time the article is printed, they are "recovered." However that doesn't meant that PTSD won't bite them in the ass later or that it might not. We simply don't have enough information to even make a statement off that.
Some people get PTSD and some don't. Some "recover" quickly and some take years. What makes one person have red hair and another blonde? What makes one person like coffee and another despise it? We are human, we have both similarities and differences. I think the key here is realizing that what you are comparing just can not be compared.
Your brain is trying to get over it. That is what has caused this disorder in the first place. It just needs some help to get there. So cut yourself some slack and list out all of the positive accomplishments you have done so far. Because that is what really counts. What you have done.
