HEAL FROM PTSD AND TRAUMA

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a complex mental health condition that can result from experiencing a traumatic event. Living with PTSD (and the depression that usually accompanies it) can make daily life difficult. You might overreact to a sound or a pat on the back. These triggers can wake you up at night or even keep you from sleeping at all. 


The flashbacks… nightmares…and intense memories can feel so real - making it seem like you are reliving the trauma all over again.  In many cases, PTSD can strain relationships and cause anger, depression, and withdrawal.

Who Can Be Impacted By Trauma?

It’s a misconception that PTSD is reserved for those military personnel and veterans. The truth is, trauma can impact anyone. Common traumatic experiences leading to PTSD can include combat exposure, sexual assault, natural disasters, accidents, or witnessing a traumatic event.

 You may need treatment beyond therapy and medication if the trauma keeps replaying and you find it hard to function.

Although we can’t predict how trauma will impact a person, science tells us that there are a few factors that play a role:


  • Your mindset at the time of the trauma
  • Genetics 
  • How personal the losses were for you 
  • The amount of violence exposure


Unfortunately, there’s a stigma of shame associated with PTSD. Many who suffer feel forced into silence. There’s shame and fear that reaching out for support is a sign of weakness. Maybe your family is embarrassed but your outbursts and mood swings. If this sounds like you or someone you love, know there is hope available without judgment.

PTSD Symptoms


PTSD symptoms can be distressing and often persist long after the traumatic event has occurred. Here is a list of common symptoms associated with PTSD.


  • Flashbacks
  • Nightmares
  • Intrusive Thoughts
  • Avoiding Triggers
  • Emotional Numbing
  • Irritability
  • Mood Swings
  • Anger
  • Hypervigilance
  • Difficulty Sleeping
  • Persistent Negative Beliefs
  • Detachment
  • Difficulty Concentrating
  • Loss of Interest


It's essential to understand that the severity of these symptoms varies from person to person, and they can significantly impact one's daily life.


Types of PTSD and  Trauma


There are several types of trauma, each characterized by the nature of the distressing events or experiences that lead to psychological and emotional suffering. Some common types of trauma include:


  • Childhood Trauma: a psychological and emotional response to a distressing event or series of events that occurred during a person's childhood or adolescence.
  • Family Trauma: collective experience of distressing and disruptive events within a family unit.
  • Generational Trauma: the transmission of psychological and emotional trauma from one generation to another within a family or community.
  • Acute Trauma: a sudden, intense, and often life-threatening event or series of events that lead to severe distress, both emotionally and physically.

A Brief Look at Ketamine Throughout History

Ketamine was discovered in 1962 by Calvin L. Stevens, a professor of chemistry. It quickly proved to act quicker than the leading anesthetic at the time, PCP. The U.S. eventually approved ketamine in the 1970s for anesthetic use during the Vietnam War. As time passed, people began to use it illicitly, and it became a federally controlled substance in 1999.

 

But despite this classification, researchers remained steadfast, knowing ketamine could unlock the enormous potential for treating several health conditions. Now, after years of extensive research, significant findings show the promise of ketamine to manage various mental health conditions when administered in low doses.

Ketamine is the future of mental health treatment. Unlock it's potential and find the relief you deserve.

Sustained & Long-Term Relief

Combination Therapy with Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS or rTMS) and Ketamine is a safe and highly effective alternative to medications and other forms of therapy and lifestyle changes.

Our expert staff will put you at ease. While Ketamine has proven to be effective in the treatment of depression, pain, and other mood disorders, this is irrelevant until the FDA classifies the drug as an antidepressant. The good news is, since Ketamine is a "medical expense", we are able to accept payment from HSA and FSA accounts.
