What treatment options are available for complex ptsd?
11 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Several : Treatments are available for symptoms in the form of medications. In addition, cognitive-behavioral therapy can be helpful in eliminating excessive suffering due to dysfunctional and automatic thoughts. Group therapies are sometimes helpful, especially for veterans or others who have suffered similar traumatic events. Individual therapy can focus on personal meaning and future orientation.

Complex PTSD: Psychoeducation, cognitive processing therapy (subtype of cognitive behavioral therapy), combined with appropriate psychotropic medications and group therapy can be a good basis for treatment of complex ptsd. The therapist (s) need to be well versed in ptsd.
