PTSD
Past haunting? Pathways to healing await.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that's triggered by experiencing or witnessing a terrifying event. Symptoms may include flashbacks, nightmares, severe anxiety, and uncontrollable thoughts about the event. Individuals with PTSD may also experience heightened reactivity, avoidance of reminders of the trauma, negative changes in thoughts and mood, and feelings of detachment or estrangement. Because PTSD can significantly impact daily functioning and relationships, effective treatment is crucial. This typically involves psychotherapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and may include medication to manage symptoms.
