Abstract
International guidelines indicate that trauma-focused psychotherapeutic treatments are the recommended approach for first line treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, the guidelines concerning drug-focused treatment are less consistent and contradictory. Although trauma-focused therapy combined with cognitive-behavioral therapy is effective in treating PTSD, many patients do not respond adequately to this treatment, which stresses the need to develop effective adjuvant therapeutic treatments. In addition, most randomized controlled trials investigating psychological treatments for PTSD exclude patients with psychosis, addiction, bipolar disorder, and suicidal thoughts, and it is crucial to offer effective treatments for these patients. Off-label medication is frequently used in treating these populations, but there is a need to clarify these practices. We thus propose an evidence-based algorithm for the management of PTSD, based on current international literature and taking into consideration suicidal tendencies, the presence of psychiatric disorders (psychotic disorders, bipolar disorders, borderline personality disorders) or addictive disorders, the severity of PTSD, and resistance to treatment.
