Reconnection with loved ones is especially important. Thankfully, many treatments are available for dealing with anxiety-related disorders. While some approaches focus on eliminating the disorder, others, such as cognitive behavior programs, focus on managing and coping with the stress or anxiety disorder. Psychotherapy is perhaps the usual treatment; group therapy helps especially in reconnecting with a social network, and drama therapy provides a means of productively reenacting the event and dealing with the triggers and emotions of the trauma; faith based support groups offer spiritual as well as emotional and physical healing; medications and natural supplements are also available as treatment for post traumatic stress disorder.<br /><br />Post traumatic stress disorder must be recognized for what it is: an anxiety related condition that can and must be treated.
