Our evidence-based approach and supportive care are designed to address the unique challenges of living with PTSD.
What Is Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)?
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is a mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event, such as physical assault, combat, natural disaster, or severe accident. Symptoms of PTSD include intrusive memories, flashbacks, nightmares, severe anxiety, and avoidance of reminders of the trauma. These symptoms can interfere with daily life and significantly impact an individual’s well-being. Effective treatment is essential to manage symptoms and support recovery.
