PTSD Treatment

PTSD Treatment at Manoshanti Neuropsychiatry Clinic

Trauma can leave a lasting impact, not just emotionally but mentally and physically as well. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that occurs after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. At Manoshanti Neuropsychiatry Clinic, we provide compassionate care and evidence-based treatment for individuals living with PTSD, helping them regain control of their lives and find hope and healing.

What is PTSD?

PTSD is a mental health condition triggered by experiencing or witnessing a terrifying event. It is more than just feeling upset or shaken; it involves intense, prolonged emotional and physical responses that interfere with daily life. People with PTSD may feel like they are reliving the trauma, avoiding reminders of it, or constantly on edge.

Common Causes of PTSD:

Traumatic Events: Car accidents, natural disasters, war, or physical assault.
Emotional or Psychological Trauma: Abuse, bullying, or losing a loved one suddenly.
Occupational Trauma: Witnessing distressing events in professions like healthcare, law enforcement, or the military.

Symptoms of PTSD

PTSD symptoms vary but are generally grouped into four categories:

1. Intrusive Thoughts:

Flashbacks, nightmares, or recurring memories of the traumatic event.
Feeling as though you’re reliving the event.
Severe emotional distress or physical reactions to reminders of the trauma.

2. Avoidance:

Avoiding places, people, or activities that remind you of the trauma.
Suppressing thoughts or feelings about the event.

3. Negative Changes in Mood or Thinking:

Persistent negative thoughts or beliefs about oneself or the world.
Feelings of guilt, shame, or blame.
Difficulty experiencing positive emotions.
Detachment from loved ones or loss of interest in activities.

4. Hyperarousal:

Being easily startled or constantly on edge.
Difficulty sleeping or concentrating.
Irritability or aggressive behavior.

Why Seek Treatment for PTSD?

Untreated PTSD can lead to:

Mental Health Challenges: Increased risk of anxiety, depression, or substance abuse.
Physical Health Issues: Chronic pain, heart disease, or other stress-related conditions.
Relationship Strain: Difficulty maintaining healthy relationships with family and friends.
Reduced Quality of Life: Trouble maintaining a job, pursuing hobbies, or achieving personal goals.

At Manoshanti Neuropsychiatry Clinic, we specialize in helping individuals with PTSD overcome these challenges through personalized, evidence-based care.

Our PTSD Treatment Approach

We offer a comprehensive range of treatments tailored to each individual’s needs.

1. Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT):

This form of CBT helps patients process traumatic memories and reframe their thoughts. It encourages healthier coping strategies to reduce the distress associated with trauma.

2. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR):

EMDR is a highly effective, evidence-based therapy that helps patients reprocess traumatic memories in a safe environment. By focusing on specific eye movements, individuals can reduce the emotional charge of distressing memories.

3. Medications:

For some, medication can help manage symptoms like anxiety, depression, or insomnia. Our psychiatrists may prescribe antidepressants or other medications as part of a holistic treatment plan.

4. Stress Management and Relaxation Techniques:

We teach mindfulness, deep breathing exercises, and relaxation techniques to help patients manage stress and reduce hyperarousal symptoms.

5. Group Therapy and Support Groups:

Sharing experiences with others who understand the journey can provide comfort and encouragement. Group therapy fosters a sense of connection and reduces feelings of isolation.

6. Family Involvement:

PTSD doesn’t just affect individuals; it impacts families too. We offer family therapy sessions to help loved ones better understand PTSD and support the recovery process.

7. Relapse Prevention and Long-Term Support:

Recovery is ongoing. We equip patients with tools to maintain progress and offer regular follow-ups to ensure lasting healing.
