Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can result from having experienced or witnessed a
traumatic event. Patients with PTSD symptoms can sometimes experience symptom relief after
treatment with antidepressants; however, few patients experience complete symptom relief.
There is a need to develop new treatments for PTSD.
This study will evaluate if 12 weeks of using Vortioxetine relieves PTSD symptoms.
Vortioxetine has been approved for the treatment of depression; however, Vortioxetine has not
been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of PTSD.
