My opinion ...
A cure : removal or extinquished illness through medical treatment.
PTSD is an emotional disease that as a consequence can alter the brain function. However, there is no treatment to 'remove' the neural pathways created by this disorder. There are treatments to provide relief either chemically through drug treatment and cognitive restructuring.
NO, I don't believe a cure is available, but I do believe the disorder is manageable and through treatment many strategies can be applied to diminish the overall affect of the disorder to lead a 'mostly' normal life.
The hardest part is attaining the management skills and applying them in timely fashion to reduce the overall impact. But eventually the skills added to your toolbox do become automatic once you recognize what is happening.
