Case report shows hypnotherapy may help alleviate symptoms in a patient with chronic PTSD, suggesting further investigation is warranted.
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental disorder that develops following exposure to highly stressful, frightening, or distressing events. We present the case of a 54-year-old man who had experienced PTSD symptoms for 27 years and remained untreated until admission to our hospital. He presented with hypervigilance, insomnia, nightmares, flashbacks, and marked irritability. This case report highlights the potential role of hypnotherapy as an adjunctive treatment for PTSD, although it is not considered a first-line intervention.
