Notices

Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now.

Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year.

Default Feedback On Going To My GP Today
As I said, I made an appointment to see my Doctor, who listened attentively and immediately understood what I was saying. He talked to me about the possibility of medications, specifically SSRI which he wrote down for me and said I should look them up on the Internet, as well as the entire subject of serotonin deficiency.

I plan to do that.

I have to go back in two weeks, having filled in a form to assess my level of depression, to talk about medication. So I feel relieved and a bit more hopeful.

I would never say to someone not to take medication at the worst of their PTSD if it helps them. Its only the ongoing use of medication I believe is more harmful than beneficial. The mind needs a break when the worst is upon them. I would not recommend to anyone they go through healing trauma without some sort of control mechanism. Tough if you do it, but not recommended for the pain it causes.
