Brain scans of war veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder have led researchers to an area of the prefrontal cortex that appears to be a good predictor of response to treatment with SSRIs -- the first-line drug treatment for PTSD.

Geez... really? You're trying to wrap SSRI's in some shining light? People... move along -- unless you're developing completely new drugs without all the side effects and chaotic shit that happens to a majority when taking them... stick with other drugs please.

Why not measure PTSD patients under a regime of different drugs to find what actually is targeting that area the best -- not just SSRI's which are dismal for efficacy.

I understand they're going to use the imagery with the drugs to find what activates best... but seriously... that is not a predictor of what continues to work, nor how the person then responds with all the additional issues they never had -- which low and behold, the solution is to prescribe more drugs to counter the first drugs side effects.

What a nasty, vicious cycle physicians are putting patients through. Precision medicine has to accomplish patient best health first and foremost, not just whether a specific cocktail works whilst under imagery, then the body later rejects it and everyone's back to square one within a year.
 
Sales must be declining. I feel like it is a never ending fight to ward off these drugs due to how heavily they are pushed at every turn by every Dr. I see.

And since when did a study of 17 people with PTSD, 34 people all together, qualify as a legitimate study. You can't get accurate numbers with so few people.
