Open-access Pharmacological treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder

AuthorshipSCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

    The authors present a review of pharmacotherapy for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Only a few controlled clinical trials have been carried out on PTSD, but there is a growing interest on this topic. Antidepressants, specially those with serotonergic activity, appear to provide effective pharmacotherapy for PTSD, as having either a primary therapeutic effect or in association with psychotherapy.
