Need Help Finding the Right PTSD Treatment Plan for You or a Loved One?

The National Center for PTSD is trying to help Veterans make informed decisions regarding PTSD treatment plans. Research has shown the most effective treatments for PTSD are evidence-based trauma therapies.

The three main evidence-based trauma therapies are:

• Prolonged Exposure (PE) – Teaching people how to confront memories, feelings, and situations they have avoided post-trauma.
• Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) – Helping people recognize how trauma has changed their view about themselves, others, and the world.
• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) – Helping people process their trauma, allowing them to start to heal.

The PTSD Treatment Decision Aid helps compare various treatment options and creates a personalized summary of choices that can be shared with a health care provider.
