Why it happens
What Causes PTSD?
PTSD is caused by exposure to a traumatic event. Not everyone who experiences trauma will develop PTSD, but certain types of events are more likely to lead to it.
- Experiencing serious accidents (car crashes, industrial accidents).
- Being a victim of physical or sexual assault.
- Childhood abuse or neglect.
- Exposure to combat or military action.
- Witnessing a violent death.
- Experiencing a natural disaster like an earthquake or flood.
- Receiving a life-threatening medical diagnosis.
- Surviving a terrorist attack.
- A history of other mental health issues like anxiety or depression.
- A lack of a strong support system after the event.
- Having a job that increases your risk of exposure to traumatic events (e.g., first responder).
Good to know
When Should You Seek Medical Help for PTSD?
It is crucial to seek professional help if trauma-related symptoms persist for more than a month and significantly impact your quality of life.
Your symptoms are severe: If flashbacks, nightmares, or anxiety are making it hard to function at work, school, or in relationships.
You are using unhealthy coping mechanisms: This includes substance abuse (drugs or alcohol) to numb your feelings.
You feel constantly on edge: If you are hypervigilant, irritable, or have angry outbursts.
You are avoiding important aspects of life: If you isolate yourself from friends, family, or activities you once enjoyed.
You have thoughts of harming yourself or others: This is a medical emergency. Seek immediate help.
If you or a loved one are struggling, remember that help is available. Reach out to the experts at Cadabam's to start your recovery journey.
How we help
How is PTSD Treated?
Treatment for PTSD is highly effective and focuses on processing the trauma and developing healthy coping skills. At Cadabam's, our approach is tailored to each individual's needs.
01
Medication
Antidepressants: SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) and SNRIs (serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors) can help manage symptoms like sadness, worry, anger, and numbness.
Anti-anxiety medications: May be prescribed for a short period to relieve severe anxiety.
Prazosin: Often used to reduce or suppress nightmares related to PTSD.
02
Psychotherapy (Talk Therapy)
Psychotherapy is the primary treatment for PTSD. Therapists work with individuals to process their traumatic experiences and develop coping strategies. Some of the most effective types include:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): This therapy helps you identify and change negative thinking patterns and behaviors related to the trauma.
Trauma-Focused CBT: A specific form of CBT that directly addresses the memory of the traumatic event, helping you process it in a safe environment.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): This technique uses guided eye movements to help you process and make sense of traumatic memories, reducing their emotional impact.
Exposure Therapy: In a controlled and safe setting, this therapy gradually exposes you to the thoughts, feelings, and situations you have been avoiding, helping to reduce fear and avoidance behaviors.
03
Lifestyle Modifications
Mindfulness and Relaxation: Techniques like deep breathing, meditation, and yoga can help manage anxiety.
Regular Exercise: Physical activity is a powerful tool for reducing stress and improving mood.
Healthy Diet: A balanced diet can support overall mental and physical well-being.
Strong Support System: Connecting with trusted family, friends, or a support group is vital.
Avoiding Alcohol and Drugs: These substances can worsen PTSD symptoms and interfere with treatment.
