PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) is not a failure of strength, courage, attitude, toughness, or mental fortitude.\u00a0 <\/span>PTSD can happen to anyone.\u00a0<\/span>One of the reasons for this is that trauma is a relatively common event. How do you know if you have PTSD? <\/span>Current estimates are that as many as 70% of adults in the US have experienced some kind of trauma in their lives.\u00a0 <\/span>Trauma can take many forms, including accidents, illnesses, deaths, robberies, war, abuse, or sexual assault.\u00a0 <\/span>While most people are able to overcome traumatic events by using their existing coping mechanisms, there are moments when a traumatic event can be so extreme or so unexpected, that it overwhelms a person\u2019s normal coping skills.\u00a0 <\/span>When this occurs, PTSD may become the result.<\/p>\n PTSD can occur even in people with extensive training and experience in dealing with trauma.\u00a0 <\/span>(i.e. First Responders, Nurses, Soldiers, etc.)\u00a0 <\/span>As a result, it is helpful to identify some of the signs and symptoms that can help you determine if you have PTSD.<\/p>\n Fortunately, PTSD can be treated.\u00a0 <\/span>Whether PTSD is due to a single traumatic event or to a long-term history of abuse or trauma, it is possible to heal and overcome the effects of PTSD.\u00a0 <\/span>If you are experiencing the symptoms of PTSD, seek help.\u00a0 <\/span>The sooner you deal with PTSD, the less it affects your life.\u00a0 <\/span>Treatment options include individual therapy, family therapy, group therapy, medication management, Intensive Treatment Programs, and residential treatment.<\/p>\n MHThrive provides Individual Therapy, Couples and Marriage Counseling, and Family Therapy at our locations in Katy, The Woodlands, and the Clear Lake area of Houston, Texas.
