Hi:) I am 32 and have just been diagnosed with severe PTSD. I was wondering what others experiences have been with treatment and how effective it is?, whether this disorder can be cured altogether or is it just managed even after therapy?
I was severely bullied at school from the age of 5-18 years. The ptsd started when I was 5 and for the last 10 years I have been getting treatment for depression and anxiety and then bipolar (which I am now led to believe I dont have at all lol!) but still I had issues. maybe now things can be resolved?

From my experience, PTSD is a very individual thing. Some people say they have found cures in meditation, god, EMDR, or therapy.
I have found that those are tools to cope with PTSD and wonder often if there is such a thing as a cure.
I am leaning towards no. I do believe that PTSD can go into remission and the symptoms can be managed quite well. It depends on so many factors that it's hard to pinpoint what exactly will help a person cope. It seems to be an individual thing.
Since the trauma you endured was so lengthy, you may consider researching C-PTSD or complex post traumatic stress disorder. I found I could relate much more to the symptoms of C-PTSD.
