Introduction

Common treatment options for PTSD.

1) Medication, although not a cure, can be utilized to reduce or relieve anxiety symptoms.

2) Cognitive-Behavioral therapy, which focuses on changing specific thoughts and actions and uses techniques to decrease or stop unwanted behavior.

3) Relaxation Techniques including meditation, breathing exercises, and muscle relaxation can help you control your stress level and manage your anxiety.

4) Biofeedback, to help a person become more aware of and learn to deal with the body's response to pain. This alternative therapy emphasizes relaxation and stress reduction.
