In the US, 13% of women develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
during their lifetime. An accurate diagnosis of PTSD requires screening for
trauma and symptoms of PTSD. Current research in the neurobiologic and
psychologic responses to traumatic stress supports the use of pharmacologic
and psychosocial interventions. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors are the
current first-line pharmacotherapy. Efficacious psychosocial interventions
include exposure therapy and cognitive processing therapy.
