摘要：

Objective: To determine them efficacy of the antidepressant citalopram in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Method: The cases of two Persian Gulf War veterans are described to illustrate the effects of citalopram in treating their PTSD symptoms. Results: In these two clinical case studies, citalopram led to remission of some of the PTSD symptoms. Conclusion: More controlled studies are warranted to further prove the efficacy of citalopram as an agent of choice for the treatment of PTSD.
