> My doctor prescribed prazosin to me several years ago. It has helped a great deal for depression. His thought process was that my childhood history of abuse and neglect yielded a developmental PTSD. Since prazosin has been found to be helpful in PTSD, he thought I should give it a try. It was a brilliant deduction.I'm glad this is helping. Has therapy helped at all? Not everybody is able or willing to dive into it and some therapists, frankly, just suck. others are just a bad fit. I lucked out with a psychiatrist very skilled in psycho-dynamic therapy with whom I forged a strong bond. I just wanted to spill my guts to him after years of burying everything.
