Hi! I am new to this site. I am a college student writing a research paper on PTSD and treatment options. I have had and recovered from PTSD from my experiences working in the emergency services field. I would appreciate if anyone was willing to take my survey. Thank you for the help.

Done. Just a quick question. I distinguish between psychotherapy and EMDR and have answered on that basis. I'm not clear from the questions whether you make the same distinction. For me psychotherapy and a depression diagnosis wasn't helpful, I just went round and round and round getting more and more distressed for about 20 years (literally). 10 months of EMDR plus ptsd focused treatment and I'm starting to feel quite different. Hope that's helpful.

Thanks everyone who has taken the survey and provided your answers. I appreciate the help. @Only 1 of me- I had a lot of questions on the survey focus on psychotherapy because it is so much more common and widely available than some of the other treatment types (such as EMDR). I did want to know what other types helped people as well which is why I had the multiple choice questions for the alternative types. I used both psychotherapy and EMDR for my PTSD and it wasn't until I tried EMDR that I began to really start feeling relief. In the end, I believe a combination of the two is what helped me so much.

Will give it a run when I come back in for the day. Posted this basically to remind myself. I do find it good that you say you recovered. I'm aiming at that myself.
