Hi madam,Welcome to Health Care MagicI can certainly understand your concern and worry about your husband , and the role you need to play at this moment, I would like to know some details about since how long he was diagnosed with PTSD, does he took any medication? And how long?The present symptoms that he is suffering now seems to be depression and anxiety ....So it could be mixed anxiety and depression with PTSD....I need some clarification regarding the incident which leaded to PTSD ? Is it the stroke that he suffered in 2009..?.I could suggest you some antidepressants like escitalopram and clonazepam in the night to take care of his sleep and anxiety....These drugs would definitely help in reducing flashback episodes in PTSD....So there's nothing to worry , his problem is definitely curable ...Please consult your Psychiatrist for further helpPost your further questions if any, I will available to take up your follow up questionsThank you
