PTSD Treatment at UMEED
Comprehensive Assessment and Diagnosis
To effectively diagnose PTSD, our skilled psychologists and psychiatrists do comprehensive assessments. Developing a treatment strategy that works requires first determining the precise type of PTSD and how severe it is.
Types of PTSD
PTSD can appear in a variety of ways, such as:
Acute PTSD: After a trauma, symptoms persist for one to three months.
Chronic PTSD: Symptoms last longer than three months.
Complex PTSD: Chronic or recurrent trauma can result in complex PTSD, which frequently involves severe emotional difficulties.
Comorbid PTSD: Coexisting with other mental health conditions, including anxiety or depression, is known as comorbid PTSD.
Evidence-Based Treatments
We provide a variety of evidence-based therapies at UMEED that are customized to meet the needs of each patient:
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy:
Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, aims to alter unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns.
Exposure therapy
Assists people in facing and managing their concerns safely.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
Facilitates the integration and processing of traumatic memories.
Medication Management
Medication management is the process of treating symptoms with antidepressants or anxiety reducers.
Understanding PTSD
Experiencing or witnessing a distressing event might result in the development of PTSD. To correctly manage and cure the disease, it’s critical to identify the symptoms as soon as possible and get professional assistance.
Similarly, for individuals with schizophrenia, early detection and intervention are crucial for effective treatment. Our Schizophrenia Treatment services offer comprehensive support tailored to each individual’s needs, promoting symptom management, improving quality of life, and fostering recovery.
Symptoms of PTSD
Intrusive Memories: Recurrent, upsetting recollections or flashbacks to the traumatic incident are known as intrusive memories.
Avoidance: Making an effort to avoid talking about or thinking about the traumatic incident and avoiding locations or activities that serve as reminders.
Negative Shifts in Thought and Mood: Depressive thoughts, trouble remembering things, and trouble sustaining intimate connections.
Modifications in Physical and Emotional Reactions: Easily startled, tense, restless, and prone to angry outbursts.
Mood and Cognitive Symptoms: persistently bad feelings of shame, remorse, or dread
How Does PTSD Affect Life?
PTSD can substantially negatively influence many facets of life, such as interpersonal relationships, productivity at work, and general well-being. It could be challenging to keep a job, participate in social activities, or feel comfortable and at ease. If ignored, the long-term impacts of PTSD can lower quality of life and cause persistent mental health problems.
