QUESTION:
Dear Dr. Heller,
What can I do to help the person I love who was abused?
ANSWER:
While making a safe environment is crucial, medication is often needed. Treating all
the medically treatable diagnoses including PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) and the
diagnoses listed in my
screening test
is essential. Counseling is
important as well.
A book was recommended highly to me about this subject (I haven't read it): "I
Don't Want To Talk About It" by Terrance Real.
