I am pretty sure I have PTSD and I'd like treatment. But I don't know how to get help.
| |  | | | | PTSD can result from a traumatic event, such as a near-death experience, childhood abuse, or witnessing a loved one in an accident. While not all traumatic events lead to PTSD, some people may develop nightmares, flashbacks, and other symptoms that interfere with daily life. Fortunately, PTSD is treatable. If you suspect you may have PTSD, you might start by talking to your physician. Your doctor might refer you to a therapist or a psychiatrist who can help. PTSD is often treated with talk therapy. Cognitive behavioral therapy is an effective treatment. And while there isn't a medication that cures PTSD, sometimes medication is prescribed to help manage the some of the symptoms. You could also reach out to a therapist directly, either in-person or online. Just be sure that you do reach out to someone as symptoms might get worse if left untreated. In the meantime, you can learn more about PTSD and the best ways to cope with the symptoms. | | | | | | | | | You are receiving this newsletter because you subscribed to the Healthy Mind newsletter.
