Trauma and PTSD Treatment

If you’ve been through a traumatic event and experience feelings of fear, helplessness, or other distressing symptoms that affect your daily life, know that you’re not alone. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a treatable condition, and at Ramsay Mental Health, we’re here to provide compassionate, evidence-based care to support you on your path to recovery.

Understanding Trauma and PTSD

Trauma is any deeply distressing or life-threatening event that can leave a lasting impact, often making you feel unsafe or powerless. PTSD is a mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. This can include things such as accidents, natural disasters, violence, or other severe incidents that challenge one’s sense of security.

Common Symptoms of PTSD

Flashbacks or intrusive memories of the traumatic event
Nightmares or distressing dreams
Avoidance of reminders associated with the trauma
Negative thoughts or feelings about yourself or the world
Persistent feelings of hypervigilance or being "on edge"
Difficulty sleeping or focusing
Heightened irritability or outbursts of anger
