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 How Long Have You Taken Prescriptions For PTSD?
I don't know how to set up this poll to look like all the others, so I would appreciate help from those people who know how to do it. If you think my time limits are too close together, please change them for me to be more appropriate.

I did this poll because I am now on my seventh antidepressant in 14 years, and it is now failing, so I am seeing a psychiatrist next week to probably change my medication. Again. I wonder if long-term depression, life-long depression, means a life long prescription for antidepressants. If so, are many of you having the same experience?

I have now fixed this poll so that it is a poll, not a thread with a question. 2quilt, all the information you require on how to post a poll is contained in the FAQ section which also contains the vbulletin manual, which is an online searchable index of the how to use the forum software.
