What is the future for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)?

Throughout its history as a theory of knowledge, psychology has been concerned with meeting diverse demands in a variety of approaches. Different schools of thought start from radically - at their root - divergent worldviews, bringing countless techniques to observe, classify and intervene in the face of serious mental disorders arising from intense traumatic events.

Psychological traumas vary in intensity, location and understanding of where the events occur. The levels of what is traumatic are not necessarily defined, although its symptoms are. As society improves, equally perfected forms of suffering are presented, with unique complexities.

At the same time that psychology offers various forms of interventions, its techniques have not demonstrated effectiveness in treating post-traumatic stress disorder, and pharmacological therapies are effective in less than a third of patients who adequately respond to treatment , being considered resistant patients. The question remains: what to do when a PTSD patient does not improve with any psychotherapeutic or psychopharmacological treatment?

Looking at alternatives may be a possible solution, on a planet where collective traumas are increasingly frequent and in a country where endemic violence and the health pandemic plague thousands of Brazilians, Options beyond those offered are necessary.
