Antidepressant treatment, posttraumatic stress disorder, survivor guilt, and spiritual awakening

H R Khouzam et al. J Trauma Stress. 1997 Oct.

Abstract

A patient with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) had a major depressive episode that was responsive to treatment with the antidepressant fluoxetine. In contrast to the remission of other symptoms of depression, the associated feature of survivor guilt became more dramatically obvious. Individualized treatment of survivor guilt may be needed for patients with PTSD and major depression.
