Why Get Help From a PTSD Psychiatrist?

Post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, is a mental health condition triggered by experiencing or witnessing traumatic events. Common triggers include natural disasters, serious accidents, violent assaults, or military combat.

Getting help from a PTSD psychiatrist is crucial for effective treatment. PTSD psychiatrists are trained to diagnose and treat mental health disorders, using evidence-based approaches, like psychotherapy and medication, to address PTSD. Early intervention by a trained professional can greatly improve the chances of recovery.

What to Expect from PTSD Psychiatry

At Coastal Psychiatry, we begin the process of PTSD psychiatry with an assessment. This process involves discussing your symptoms, medical history, and any traumatic events you've experienced. The goal is to develop a comprehensive understanding of your condition to tailor an effective treatment plan around your needs.

Personalized PTSD Treatment Plans

Every individual's experience with PTSD is unique, and so is their treatment plan. At Coastal Psychiatry, we will create a personalized treatment plan that may include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and mental health medication.

These therapeutic techniques will help you to process traumatic memories, reducing the distress associated with them. Meanwhile, medications, such as antidepressants or anti-anxiety drugs, may also be prescribed to manage symptoms.

Effective PTSD treatment also involves ongoing support and care. At Coastal Psychiatry, we provide continuous monitoring and adjustment of treatment plans to meet your evolving needs. This includes through regular follow-up sessions providing an opportunity to discuss progress, address concerns, and make necessary adjustments to therapy or medication.
