Can PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) be deadly?!


Question:

Can PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) be deadly?

See, this has really caught my attention, and I was just wondering if it's possible for someone to die from it.

Like, has anyone ever been cured from this? Is it possible?

I really do want to know, so if you can help me, please help me.

Answers:

Some people commit suicide as a result of post traumatic stress. That would make it quite deadly.

Seeing a therapist can alleviate the problems, and over time make them go away. Just like any other mental problem it can reoccur...but there are plenty of people who are treated and do not have significant relapses.

Prolonged stress can also have a very negative effect on a persons heart.
