Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that occurs in individuals who have experienced or witnessed traumatic events.

Philadelphia Integrative Psychiatry also focuses on Chronic PTSD (C-PTSD), which looks at the effects of prolonged trauma on the body and brain. The manifestation of PTSD varies, including psychological symptoms like intrusive memories, nightmares, flashbacks, emotional numbness, detachment, anxiety, hypervigilance, and concentration difficulties. It also leads to mood changes, altered self-perception, and strained relationships. Physiologically, PTSD can disrupt the nervous system, resulting in increased heart rate, elevated blood pressure, rapid breathing, chronic fatigue, sleep disturbances, gastrointestinal issues, headaches, muscle tension, and heightened susceptibility to physical ailments, necessitating a comprehensive approach to treatment that addresses both psychological and physiological aspects of the disorder.

The treatment for PTSD at Philadelphia Integrative Psychiatry is highly personalized, recognizing the need for a holistic approach. This may involve a team or individual practitioners, tailored to address various trauma manifestations. Treatments include psychotherapy methods like CBT, EMDR, and psychodynamic therapy, which process traumatic experiences and develop coping strategies. Medication management with psychotropic medications like SSRIs is used to alleviate depression, anxiety, and sleep disturbances. Additionally, mind-body interventions such as mindfulness-based stress reduction, yoga, meditation, and biofeedback help in emotional regulation and physiological arousal reduction. Nutrition therapy plays a crucial role, with a dietitian providing guidance on a balanced diet to support mental wellness and optimize the body-brain connection for overall healing.
