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

You’ll receive round-the-clock support from our team of clinicians and therapeutic staff, helping you navigate intense emotions and develop strategies to manage PTSD symptoms in a secure, supportive setting.
• Day Programs: Ideal for those seeking continued support without an overnight stay, our day programs provide structured, therapeutic sessions to help maintain progress and reduce the risk of relapse. These programs include group therapy and skills training to help you build resilience, manage triggers, and develop coping mechanisms for long-term recovery.
• Outpatient Treatment:  Our outpatient consultations are delivered by our accredited psychiatrists, who can provide diagnosis, ongoing treatment, and connect you with higher levels of care when appropriate.
• Specialised Psychological Services: Through Ramsay Psychology, we offer individual therapy sessions with psychologists trained in trauma and PTSD treatment. This option is ideal for those seeking one-on-one support outside of a hospital setting, focusing on managing symptoms and addressing the effects of trauma in a personalised, supportive environment.

Holistic Care for Co-Occurring Conditions

Trauma and PTSD often coexist with other mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, or substance use. Our holistic treatment approach addresses these co-occurring conditions alongside PTSD, to create a pathway to a comprehensive and lasting recovery.
