There are quite a few people who believe PTSD can be cured, although I'm sure they would admit that the experience becomes a part of you that will never go away. The symptoms can be relieved though through therapy. There are also those who don't think PTSD is ever really cured. Maybe that is so far beyond their experience that it doesn't seem possible. I can't see how medication alone would cure it, or how a cure could take place if the trauma is ongoing, and sometimes it is.

Whichever you feel is right, that's okay. There is no set timeline, and everyone is different. Let's let those who believe they have recovered enjoy their recovery, while continuing to give support to those who need it. Sometimes it is necessary to agree to disagree. Terminology is nothing but words. Okay?
