Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Treatment

Trauma-Informed Psychiatric Care in Manhattan Beach

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. This may include a single severe incident such as an accident, assault, natural disaster, or medical crisis — or repeated traumatic experiences such as physical, sexual, or emotional abuse, domestic violence, or prolonged neglect. In the aftermath of trauma, individuals may feel intense fear, helplessness, or horror, and symptoms can emerge that disrupt daily life and emotional well-being.

People with PTSD may re-experience trauma through distressing memories, intrusive thoughts, vivid sensory recollections, nightmares, or flashbacks in which the event feels as though it is happening again. Many individuals avoid reminders of the trauma and experience emotional numbness, detachment, or withdrawal from previously meaningful activities. PTSD can also cause a persistent state of heightened arousal, including sleep disturbance, irritability, difficulty concentrating, hypervigilance, and an exaggerated startle response.
