Future pharmacotherapy for post-traumatic stress disorder: prevention and treatment
Abstract
I have presented two complementary lines of speculation in this article. First, I have presented a public health model of resilience, prevention, acute intervention, and tertiary treatment to inform a pharmacotherapeutic strategy for PTSD in the future. Second, I have proposed a rational rather than an empirical approach to the clinical pharmacology of PTSD. Such an approach suggests that efforts be directed toward the development and testing of new classes of drugs designed to target the unique pathophysiology of PTSD.
