Treatment of PDST

 Medication:A type of drug known as Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are a type of antidepressant medicine. These can help you feel less sad and worried. They appear to be helpful, and for some people they are very effective. SSRIs include citalopram (Celexa), fluoxetine (such as Prozac), paroxetine (Paxil), and sertraline (Zoloft).
Stop a crisis from escalating, for example, medications can help you regain control when you are suicidal, unable to workk, or in danger of hurting other people.
Work fast,  reduce your anxiety
Help tide you over if you can't get a therapist right away,if you are in the outside of a country, medication may help you stay the course until you can figure out a therapy plan.
Treat coexisting disorders, for instance, you may be battling both PTSD and depression, since you need your medication to get your other issues under control so you can focus on your PTSD symptoms.
Medication works when therapy doesn't, if therapy doesn't do the trick for you, medication could be just the ticket.

Cognitive behavioral therapy(CBT) is based on the idea that psychological problems arise as a result of the way in which we interpret or evaluate situations, thoughts, and feelings, as well as our behaviors.
Understand and change how you think about your trauma, to know the certain thoughts about your trauma cause you stress.
Identify thoughts about the world and yourself that are making you feel afraid or upset. learn to replace these thoughts with more accurate and less distressing thoughts.
understand the traumatic event you lived through was not your fault.

Combaination CBT and Medicine: 
CBT helps the patient discontinue medications and to ensure skill generalazation after medication treatmenr. Combined treatment may be more effective acutely.
