It will never be completely gone but they can be brought to a fully functioning level to the point where it doesn't affect their life any longer. Another trauma (even a small one) could bring it back full force, though.

∙ 14y agoThey are not clinically proven to "cure" PTSD in any shape or form, but the National Institute of Mental Health has recently suggested that patients should continue to take prescribed drugs, such as Paxil and Zoloft, to improve their overarching social capabilities through psychotherapy, peer counseling consultations, or other effective forms of talk therapy. You can also book an appointment with a one-on-one behavioral health care provider who specializes in relaxation techniques if you happen to get completely out of control with your already fragile state of mind. There may still be a great social stigma attached to this unnerving illness. Yet, it really never hurts to let your feelings out if your life reaches an all-too-uncontrollable psychological or emotional breaking point. Once you finally get your act together, you may not exactly be "cured," but you might as well feel better than you did before.

If you have it, you need to seek treatment from a medical doctor like a psychiatrist and maybe some counseling sessions will do you some good. Medication will most likely be needed. Also, for your benefit, stay away from negative people. The more negativity, such as rude comments, can lead to worsening your conditions. For example, you can get dysthymia, (A disorder I ended up with after staying around negative people and in negative situations) which is a type of depression. There is no guaranteed cure or guarantee that you will grow out of it. Just stay Positive! That is the most important thing when it comes to disorders as such.
