Let’s delve deeper..

Symptoms

PTSD symptoms are generally grouped into four types: intrusive memories, avoidance, negative changes in thinking and mood, and changes in physical and emotional reactions. These symptoms can vary over time or vary from person to person.

• Intrusive memories: Recurrent, unwanted distressing memories of the traumatic event; reliving the traumatic event as if it were happening again (flashbacks); upsetting dreams or nightmares about the traumatic event; severe emotional distress or physical reactions to something that reminds you of the traumatic event.
• Avoidance: Trying to avoid thinking or talking about the traumatic event; avoiding places, activities, or people that remind you of the traumatic event.
• Negative changes in thinking and mood: Negative thoughts about yourself, other people, or the world; hopelessness about the future; memory problems, including not remembering important aspects of the traumatic event; difficulty maintaining close relationships; feeling detached from family and friends; lack of interest in activities you once enjoyed; difficulty experiencing positive emotions; feeling emotionally numb.
• Changes in physical and emotional reactions: Being easily startled or frightened; always being on guard for danger; self-destructive behavior, such as drinking too much or driving too fast; trouble sleeping; trouble concentrating; irritability, angry outbursts, or aggressive behavior; overwhelming guilt or shame.

Early intervention improves outcomes significantly, so recognizing these symptoms is crucial.

Problems

PTSD can disrupt your whole life ― your job, your relationships, your health, and your enjoyment of everyday activities. Having PTSD may also increase your risk of other mental health problems, such as:

• Depression and anxiety
• Issues with drugs or alcohol use
• Eating disorders
• Suicidal thoughts and actions

Addressing these issues is crucial for effective recovery and is a central focus of our treatment programs.
