PTS is curable. You can get better. Once you have had it as long as many here have and were not treated it turns into PTSD. That it is the disorder untreated PTS turns into that you can treat but not cure.

Yes, PTSD is a psychiatric disorder. Who is debating its not, you or your doctor?mortiis31 said:Is PTSD a Psychiatric Disorder?
Would someone PLEASE clear this up???
Most psychiatric illnesses cannot currently be cured, although recovery may occur. While some have short time courses and only minor symptoms, many are chronic conditions which can have a significant impact on a patients' quality of life and even life expectancy, and as such may be thought to require long-term or life-long treatment. Effectiveness of treatment for any given condition is also variable from individual to individual.
Rob, I am not seeking a cure, I understand that I shall always be afflicted with this illness, but I wanted some pure HARD evidence that I could take to my psychiatrist to prove that it's a psychiatric disorder, so that they can help me!there is no cure for ptsd...period!
This is a question that has been argued over the months between my psychiatrist and myself - Is PTSD a Psychiatric Disorder?
Would someone PLEASE clear this up???
It is permanent. PTSD is incurable. However, I think it should be listed as a brain injury not a psych disorder.
