About PTSD

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) develops in some people after exposure to actual or threatened death, serious injury, or sexual violence. Core features include intrusive memories or nightmares, avoidance of reminders, negative shifts in mood and cognition, and persistent hyperarousal. Symptoms must persist more than a month and impair function. Trauma-focused psychotherapies — prolonged exposure, cognitive processing therapy, and EMDR — are first-line; SSRIs (sertraline, paroxetine) and SNRIs (venlafaxine) are evidence-based pharmacologic options.
