Abstract

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a debilitating disorder that affects around 8% of the U.S. population (1). PTSD is characterized by a variety of symptoms, including hyperarousal/vigilance, difficulty sleeping, and intrusive thoughts related to the traumatic event that can be extremely debilitating to the individual. The current medications for PTSD that are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration are limited to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors or norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, which are only moderately effective and do not help the majority of patients.
