Thank you for asking!
I am sorry for the inconvenience and harsh realities your daughter had to face. I want you to know that there are many options for PTSD from group therapy, individual and family therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, play therapy, art therapy, anxiety management, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), hypnosis, and relaxation techniques. I personally favour EMDR which your daughter is already having.Stay in touch with her psychiatrist and let her relive his life. It is too short to be wasted as a penance for some other mindless tyrants of society. Live it happily and prove all wrong. She can do it. She has to do it.For her own sake.
Hope it helps
