Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition triggered by a traumatic event. Even if there was no singular event in your past that caused trauma, you can develop PTSD because of challenging long-term circumstances in your life or by simply witnessing a traumatic event. PTSD affects as much as 30% of veterans and is estimated to affect over 5% of all adults.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition triggered by a traumatic event. Even if there was no singular event in your past that caused trauma, you can develop PTSD because of challenging long-term circumstances in your life or by simply witnessing a traumatic event. PTSD affects as much as 30% of veterans and is estimated to affect over 5% of all adults.
PTSD can arise from various traumatic experiences, including combat, assault, accidents, or even witnessing a distressing event. It is a mental health condition that can significantly impact daily life.
Symptoms often include anxiety, nightmares, and mood swings. You might experience avoidance behaviors, memory issues, or heightened emotional reactivity. These symptoms can make it difficult to function at work, engage with family, or even complete basic daily tasks. The effects of trauma can be isolating and debilitating.
PTSD symptoms can manifest in four key categories:
- Re-experiencing the event through flashbacks or nightmares is common.
- Heightened arousal can lead to increased anger or recklessness.
- Avoidance behaviors involve steering clear of triggers.
- Negative thoughts and feelings, such as self-blame, are also prevalent.
Recognizing these symptoms is the first step toward seeking help.
At Libertas Mind, we provide a multifaceted approach to PTSD treatment. We combine psychotherapy with medication management. Effective therapies include exposure therapy, cognitive processing therapy (CPT), and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). Medications, such as SSRIs and SNRIs, can help manage symptoms by regulating brain chemicals.
