Synopsis

As Dr. Mark Goulston tells his patients who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), "The fact that you're still afraid doesn't mean you're in any danger. It just takes the will and the way for your heart and soul to accept what the logical part of your mind already knows." In Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder For Dummies, Dr. Goulston helps you find the will and shows you the way.

A traumatic event can turn your world upside down, but there is a path out of PTSD. This reassuring guide presents the latest on effective treatments that help you combat fear, stop stress in its tracks, and bring joy back into your life. You'll learn how to:

  • Identify PTSD symptoms and get a diagnosis

  • Develop a PTSD treatment plan
  • Choose the ideal therapist for you
  • Decide whether cognitive behavior therapy is right for you
  • Weight the pros and cons of PTSD medications
