Post-traumatic stress disorder
If you are fighting to cope and recuperate following a traumatic life event, or exposure to ongoing trauma, you may be suffering from PTSD.
You may find your work, sleep, relationships, your overall health and your body’s physical functions are suffering too. The internal struggles that often follow trauma are not always obvious to other people, and so the impacts are often misunderstood.
It is imperative in life that we all feel safe, and when this is threatened, or feels threatened, our need for support and recovery is vital.
The treatment of post-traumatic stress has been well researched over the past three decades and continues to be an area in which clinical knowledge is growing all the time. If you are struggling after a trauma, it is vital to have the support of your GP, who can care for your physical wellbeing.
