Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Understanding PTSD
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event such as an accident, assault, natural disaster, or long-term abuse.
While some people recover naturally over time, others experience persistent flashbacks, nightmares, or anxiety that significantly affect their daily life.
PTSD is not a sign of weakness — it’s a natural response to overwhelming stress. At MyCare247, our clinicians provide confidential, trauma-informed assessments and treatments designed to help you regain a sense of safety and control.
Common Symptoms
PTSD symptoms vary from person to person but often include:
Re-experiencing the trauma
Flashbacks or vivid memories
Nightmares or distressing dreams
Physical reactions (sweating, trembling, racing heart) when reminded of the trauma
Avoidance and emotional numbness
Avoiding reminders of the event (places, people, conversations)
Feeling detached or emotionally distant
Loss of interest in activities once enjoyed
Heightened alertness (hyperarousal)
Feeling constantly “on edge” or easily startled
Difficulty sleeping or concentrating
Irritability or sudden anger outbursts
Negative changes in mood and thinking
Guilt, shame, or self-blame
Persistent sadness or hopelessness
Trouble remembering parts of the traumatic event
If these symptoms persist for more than a month or interfere with your daily life, professional help can make a real difference.
