How long will treatment take?

Dr. Matthew Yoder, Clinical Psychologist, answers common questions about PTSD.

Transcript

Many patients don't want to come to the VA and spend

all of their time in a doctor's office, and so a question

that they have is, "How long is this going to take?"

And I can say with confidence that most of the time,

treatment is going to take eight to 12 weeks.

And after that, they're on their way.

It's a weekly therapy, but for eight to 12 weeks.

Especially if a patient is willing to work hard,

they're going to be done after that point.
