When I see people just on the medicines,

00:00:03.246 --> 00:00:05.086 A:middle
they do function better.

00:00:05.086 --> 00:00:07.316 A:middle
But if they stop taking the medicines, they never really

00:00:07.316 --> 00:00:10.196 A:middle
addressed the underlying cause of the PTSD,

00:00:10.196 --> 00:00:12.496 A:middle
so the symptoms come back.

00:00:12.496 --> 00:00:14.436 A:middle
People going through therapy sometimes find it

00:00:14.436 --> 00:00:16.776 A:middle
very difficult to start addressing the challenging things

00:00:16.776 --> 00:00:20.486 A:middle
that they've been avoiding for, often, years or decades,

00:00:20.486 --> 00:00:24.796 A:middle
and so it's sometimes hard to finish the therapy

00:00:24.796 --> 00:00:27.016 A:middle
without the assistance of medicines.

00:00:27.016 --> 00:00:31.256 A:middle
So clinically, I have found that doing a combination

00:00:31.256 --> 00:00:35.246 A:middle
seems to not just help people focus better getting through

00:00:35.246 --> 00:00:38.196 A:middle
their day-to-day life, it also seems to help them

00:00:38.196 --> 00:00:42.166 A:middle
get through the treatments, the therapy, more successfully.

00:00:42.166 --> 00:00:45.416 A:middle
So in my opinion, I've seen the best outcomes,

00:00:45.416 --> 00:00:49.936 A:middle
just dealing with actual patients, using a combination.
