PTSD
recurrent trauma-related distress impacting daily functioning and emotional regulation.
Trauma Response: PTSD develops after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event, leading to symptoms like flashbacks, avoidance, and heightened anxiety.
Brain Changes: It’s linked to disruptions in brain circuits responsible for processing fear and memory, making it hard to separate past trauma from the present.
There's Hope: PTSD can be managed with therapy, medications, and innovative treatments like ketamine, which help reset the brain and reduce symptoms of distress.
