Hello I have had a ptsd condition for sometime. Being hospitalized over 20 times, the hospital has never treated my condition which is paranoia. Will my condition get worse from being untreated because now in having some memory issues?

Long-term treatment for PTSD generally comes through private therapy. Most hospitals are short-term acute care facilities which serve for immediate safety and stabilization, not really set up for long-term treatment. Your personal psychiatrist and therapist would really be the primary resources for treatment.

Generally does your condition worsen if gone untreated?

I needed therapy. I was in pretty intensive therapy for about a decade in my 40s that finally got me to a place where my PTSD symptoms have largely subsided, and when they do come up, the symptoms now are pretty mild and I know have to manage them. I haven't been in therapy now for about 8 years I guess.

My condition did worsen at times; it was more like an ebb and flow depending on what was going on in my life. I finally the frame of mind in combination with the right therapist for me to work through the trauma issues that were continuously cropping up.

I doubt I would still hold a PTSD diagnosis if reevaluated now; my symptoms are just not pervasive enough anymore. They crop up from time to time, but on a much more manageable level.
