Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a profound condition that can arise after experiencing or witnessing severe trauma. Navigating its complexities often requires specialized care. In my practice, I provide dedicated treatment for PTSD, ensuring that each individual is treated with understanding, empathy and expertise.
Common symptoms of PTSD include:
- Flashbacks and Nightmares: Reliving the traumatic event repeatedly.
- Avoidance: Steering clear of reminders associated with the trauma, be it places, people or activities.
- Emotional Numbness: Feeling detached from others or struggling with an inability to express emotions.
- Hyperarousal: Being easily startled, facing sleep difficulties or exhibiting irritability.
- Mood Disturbances: Experiencing chronic feelings of guilt, shame, anger or sadness.
- Concentration Issues: Struggling with focus or being easily distracted.
- Physical Reactions: Experiencing a rapid heartbeat, nausea or sweating when reminded of the traumatic event.
The origins of PTSD are deeply rooted in traumatic experiences, but factors like genetics, brain structure and existing mental health can influence its manifestation.
