What is post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)?
PTSD is a mental health disorder that can develop after you experience or witness a traumatic event, such as:
Violence
Abuse
Neglect
Auto accident
Death of a loved one
War and military service
While not everyone experiences PTSD after a tragedy, you may be at increased risk for the condition if you have other mental health issues or lack the support of family and friends.
Pure Psychiatry offers comprehensive care for PTSD, including diagnostic evaluations and customized treatment plans. The team focuses on reducing the severity of your symptoms and improving your overall quality of life.
How is post-traumatic stress disorder treated?
Your treatment plan for PTSD may involve a combination of psychotherapy and medications.
Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy helps you identify troubling thoughts or negative behavior patterns contributing to your PTSD symptoms. Therapy also gives you tools to ease anxiety, improve your mindset, and enjoy a happier, more fulfilling life.
Medications
If psychotherapy isn’t enough to control your PTSD symptoms, you may need antianxiety or antidepressant medications. The in-house pharmacy can fill your prescriptions during your appointment.
The Pure Psychiatry team can also recommend lifestyle and diet changes to support your overall mental health. This may include getting daily exercise to relieve stress, getting enough sleep each night, and connecting with others through a support group. Call Pure Psychiatry to schedule a diagnostic evaluation for post-traumatic stress disorder or book a consultation online today.
When should I get help for PTSD?
If you have suicidal thoughts due to PTSD, you should call 911 or seek medical attention immediately.
You should schedule an evaluation at Pure Psychiatry if you have symptoms of PTSD that you can’t manage on your own. These symptoms can include:
Anxiety
Flashbacks
Nightmares
Depression
Being easily startled
Difficulties sleeping
PTSD symptoms can occur soon after the event, but you may not experience symptoms for weeks, months, or years.
The team reviews your medical history, lifestyle, and other factors influencing your mental health to confirm PTSD. They may also order blood work or tests through the on-site lab to rule out underlying health issues.
Based on your evaluation, they create a treatment plan to help you keep your symptoms under control.
