I didn't submit the survey because I'm afraid the questions were a bit too directed in a way that doesn't fit me.
I'm not clear what level of study you're at. College can mean different things. I'm assuming that it's more of an individual study project rather than something you're going to present somewhere as scientific research. (Please correct me if I'm wrong.) I also get the impression that you're very genuine in wanting to get feedback about what people feel about treatment options. If that's the case, then rather than give feedback through your survey, could I give feedback as follows?
Where you list other forms of therapy, and ask about what's helpful, another time I'd suggest including "other" and letting people add their own. Unless you put down quite an extensive list of likely therapies, I think there's a risk of missing some things that are tried/used by a significant number of people with PTSD. For example, somatic therapy, creative therapies and animal-assisted therapies.
I'm not sure if "most helpful" is the best way to ask about which treatment options are helpful, because two or three treatments can complement each other and both/all of them be key to healing, without one of them being more helpful than the others. Personally, I think that the most helpful thing for many people is likely to be combining therapies rather than having only one type that helped the most.
For me, psychotherapy, art therapy and somatic therapy have all been really helpful.
Good luck with your paper and your studies.
