For many people, the trauma of a difficult event fades over time. But when symptoms persist for months or even years, PTSD may be present, and getting treatment becomes crucial to recovery. At Clear Path Wellness Lounge, we are here to help you process your experience in a safe, supportive environment, which can reduce your symptoms and improve your ability to function day to day.
Symptoms of PTSD
Symptoms of PTSD are generally grouped into four primary types:
- Avoidance
- Changes in physical and emotional reactions
- Intrusive memories
- Negative changes in thinking and mood
Those with PTSD may experience symptoms from one or all of these categories, and the intensity can vary over time.
