What Is Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder?
PTSD, or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, is a mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. It’s more common than many realize, affecting people of all ages and backgrounds worldwide. Understanding the nature of PTSD is crucial for individuals considering seeking treatment. This understanding provides insight into the challenges many face and the importance of seeking professional help for managing their symptoms effectively.
The Symptoms Of PTSD
The symptoms of PTSD can significantly impact daily life, causing distressing thoughts, flashbacks, nightmares, and avoidance of triggers related to the traumatic event. These symptoms can interfere with work, relationships, and overall well-being. Symptoms usually are present for a minimum of one month following the initial traumatic event. Everyone’s experience is different, but your symptoms of PTSD may include:
- Persistent Re-Experiencing Of The Traumatic Event
- Isolation Or Avoidance Of Social Situation
- Negative Thoughts And Mood
- Hyperarousal Or Numbness
Understanding CTPSD
Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD) can develop after prolonged or repeated exposure to trauma, often in situations where individuals feel trapped or powerless, such as in abusive relationships or environments. Symptoms can include emotional dysregulation, difficulty trusting others, persistent feelings of shame or guilt, and a disrupted sense of self. Treatment is tailored to your unique experiences and may include trauma-focused therapy, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), and brain-spotting trauma therapy.
PTSD Can Effect Everyone Around You
You may not feel, act, or look like yourself anymore. You may even appear unkempt and have poor personal hygiene. You may not want to do the things you used to do or find it hard to be around old family and friends. This can affect you and everyone around you. Dr. Huang can accurately diagnose and provide evidence-based PTSD treatment.

Many of the complications and disabilities associated with prolonged PTSD may be prevented by quickly initiating assessment and treatment after the traumatic event.

Dr Taji has two psychiatrists that she works with, in the event medications may be required to help control your symptoms.
Take Advantage Of Drug-Free Therapy Options
While using medication can be helpful and allow you to tolerate and work through the highly emotional material covered in psychotherapy sessions, we also offer non-drug therapy options.
