Is PTSD a condition that dissipates with time, or will I continue to have anger issues forever?

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder isn't a headache, where we can take a pill and it goes away. It's not a cut that you can put a bandage on, forget about, and go on with your day. For most struggling with PTSD, medical evaluation is a necessity with extended counseling and support groups, based on the severity/condition.

I realize this issue has received a lot of public scrutiny since the wars began and we started seeing so many cases, but this is not an invisible disease. I've seen too many Soldiers lost to depression and anger issues which feed medical and legal battles down the road. Please take the time to be seen by a medical professional. Go back to the VA with your diagnosis/prognosis and seek to receive counseling/medical services for your condition. Good luck, and take care of yourself.

Differs from individual to individual

PTSD is a condition that can sometimes never be cured. In many cases symptoms decrease, but not always. Your anger issues may or may not be connected with PTSD. I suggest seeking a psychologist and try to see if your issues can be addressed. There is no shame in seeking help. Even if they can't fully solve problems associated with PTSD, they might be able to address some of the symptoms like anger or hyper vigilance.
