Why did patients apply to this trial?

Need help badly. Tried antidepressants. Don’t work. I'm on Zoloft but I feel I would be interested in trying to take something specifically for PTSD.
PatientReceived no prior treatments
I’ve done all the drugs Street and pharmaceutical. I’ve been diagnosed with almost everything at one point in time .
PatientReceived no prior treatments
I’ve tried several drugs that have “helped” but never really “stick”. My physiological responses remain the same when subjected to triggers. So I bury them.
