Treating Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

Dr. Kaz and George continue their discussion of traumatic experiences and their impact on mental health and well being. This episode addresses PTSD treatment, including medication, side effects, and therapeutic approaches. More controversial approaches, such as marijuana and MDMA ("ecstasy") are also explored in this episode.

​Erratum: In this episode, I mistakenly state that the two FDA approved medications for PTSD are sertraline and citalopram.  The correct selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) medications approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for PTSD treatment sertraline (Zoloft) and paroxetine (Paxil).
Please take note of this information and I apologize for this error.
