PTSD treatment statistics
Psychotherapy, medication, or a combination of the two can treat PTSD. There are multiple types of psychotherapies used to treat PTSD; however, trauma-focused psychotherapies with a mental healthcare professional are the most recommended. This type of treatment helps people process their experiences by focusing on the memory of the traumatic event or its meaning.
Studies have demonstrated that up to 46% of people with PTSD show improvement within the first six weeks of psychotherapy. Antidepressants are also a treatment option to alleviate the symptoms of PTSD, including anxiety, with studies showing up to 62% of people receiving medication for PTSD show improvement. (American Family Physician, 2003)

My two cents: 46% improve? What kind of stat is that. Hell I improved and suffered for decades.
I improved over a five year period of daily work. This stat was taken after six weeks of therapy.
This study is worthless, no one with serious PTSD heals in six weeks.
Our Psychological cabal does not have stats about healing, the duration it takes to heal or what therapy works best.
Each therapist you visit is a special fiefdom of their schooling and beliefs.
Each therapist will have different skills and different philosophies on healing.
Took me six months to understand PTSD and its symptoms.
In my experience a combination of therapy, medication and our own daily work heals the best, fastest.
Depends on the therapy and therapist you choose plus how hard you work and what skills you develop.
Healing is possible but not easy or quick.
