Emotional HealthTreatment for post-traumatic stress disorderAntidepressants and anxiety-reducing medications can ease the symptoms of depression and sleep problems associated with post-traumatic stress disorder; and psychotherapy, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, is an integral part of treatment as well. Being exposed to a reminder of the trauma as part of therapy -- such as returning to the scene of a rape -- sometimes helps. And support from family and friends can help speed recovery.
