friends with ptsd- how's it going? does anything help? [View all]

so, 5 years ago, our house was broken into. it wasn't that horrible of a deal to me. the guy was caught, all property returned, no violence involved. but my daughter, then 15, and struggling with plenty of problems, imploded.
she has been dx'd with ptsd. she has become highly paranoid and anxious. (redundant)

just wondering if there are folks here who can share things that worked for them, or didnt work. or tell me what is the stupidest thing i can say to her, so i wont.
any meds that helped?

she is in therapy, and has been for quite a while. has a lot of physical/pain issues to boot.
she even qualified for a psyche disability. she is just so sweet and talented. she had such a bright future. but she just got whomped by life.
