The most effective treatments for PTSD typically include a combination of therapy, medication, and lifestyle changes. Different people may respond better to different types of therapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), or exposure therapy. Medications such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) may also be prescribed to help alleviate symptoms. It’s important to work with a qualified mental health professional to develop a personalized treatment plan.

Recovery from PTSD is a gradual process that can take several months to several years, depending on the severity of the symptoms and the individual’s response to treatment. It’s important to focus on progress rather than a specific timeline and to be patient and persistent in working towards recovery.

PTSD is a chronic condition, which means that symptoms can persist even with treatment. However, with effective treatment and ongoing management, symptoms can be reduced and quality of life can be improved.

PTSD symptoms can recur after treatment, especially during times of stress or exposure to triggers. It’s important to continue with maintenance therapy and self-care strategies to prevent symptom recurrence.

There are several alternative treatments that have shown positive results in treating PTSD, including HRT (hormone replacement therapy), nutrition, exercise, supplementation, and meditation & mindfulness activites. While these treatments may not be effective for everyone, they can be a helpful addition to a comprehensive treatment plan. Please ask our staff about the Brain Well program for treating PTSD.

This will vary depending on your individual needs treatment plan.

 

Typically, you will see your psychiatrist/med manager once a month and your therapist once a week, or as recommended.

The most effective treatment plans for PTSD do include you seeing a psychiatrist and therapist. A psychiatrist or med manager will be the one to decide the best treatment plan for you. A therapist provides talk therapy. They are there to listen and help you find ways to cope.
