Post-traumatic stress disorder is a mental health condition that may occur after someone experiences or witnesses a traumatic event. PTSD can produce recurring trauma memories, avoidance of reminders, persistent negative emotions, and increased physical or psychological reactions to perceived danger.
Common PTSD symptoms that may require professional evaluation include:
PTSD symptoms generally must continue for longer than one month and significantly affect daily functioning or emotional well-being to meet diagnostic criteria. Experiencing individual symptoms does not necessarily indicate PTSD, since anxiety disorders, depression, and other conditions may present with overlapping features.
PTSD can follow experiences such as severe accidents, physical violence, sexual assault, combat, abuse, or other threatening events. While some individuals notice symptoms shortly after trauma, others may experience delayed symptom development.
Schedule a psychiatric evaluation at DFWPMA Frisco if persistent trauma-related symptoms are disrupting your sleep, relationships, work responsibilities, or overall emotional health.
PTSD treatment at DFWPMA Frisco may include comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, individualized care planning, psychiatric medication management, and supportive counseling. Treatment recommendations are based on diagnostic findings, the severity of symptoms, co-occurring conditions, and each patient’s preferences and clinical needs.
Our mental health services relevant to PTSD treatment may include:
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs National Center for PTSD recommends trauma-focused psychotherapy as a leading treatment approach for PTSD. Strongly recommended therapies include Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
Certain antidepressant medications, including selected selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), may also be recommended for some individuals with PTSD. Medication decisions depend on the patient’s symptoms, clinical history, preferences, and potential treatment risks or benefits.
Not everyone with PTSD needs psychiatric medication, and supportive counseling should not be confused with specialized trauma-focused psychotherapy. A psychiatric evaluation can help patients understand available treatments and determine whether additional therapeutic services or referrals are appropriate.
