Q: Depression And Ptsd

asked by: katiebear on September 30th, 2003

New User

Hello, i'm new to all of this and i'm not sure if i'm in the right forum. I was diagnosed with ptsd (post traumatic stress disorder) and major depression about 6 or 7 years ago. For the past couple of years, I have managed the depression and anxiety and what not without medication because I really didn't like all of the side effects. I have been doing considerably better than when I was younger. My question is, does ptsd go away? Is it a temporary situation?

Thanks.
