Consequences of untreated post traumatic stress
Does anyone know if it is possible for a 41 year old to still be suffering from trauma experienced while growing up (from birth to age 19) that was in the form of severe physical and emotional abuse? If it is possible, what is the best way to treat it? Are there therapies specific to treating PTS that are different than treating general anxiety disorder and depression?

I believe that it is, I have suffered greatly from childhood trauma , i didnt seek treatment until my late forties, I finally decided to seek therapy specially for this PTD and it helped me overcome most of it.. No matter what therapy helps, you will always have some sort of flashbacks,etc, but thru therapy you learn to deal with it and put it its proper place, you become stronger and in control of it. I highly recommend that you seek treatment as it make your life so much better and those around you.. God Bless and good luck
