PTSD

Seventy percent of adults experience at least one traumatic event in their lifetime and up to 20% will develop PTSD.

What is PTSD?

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that’s triggered by a terrifying event — either experiencing it or witnessing it. 

PTSD can occur in anyone who experiences or witnesses a traumatic event, such as a natural disaster, a serious accident, a terrorist act, war/combat, rape, or other violent personal assault. PTSD can also be caused by ongoing events or situations that leave a person feeling unsafe for any length of time, such as ongoing physical or sexual abuse, childhood neglect, and bullying.

Most people who go through a traumatic event will have reactions that may include shock, anger, nervousness, fear and even guilt. But with time and proper self-care, many will recover from the initial symptoms on their own. If the symptoms get worse, seem to be triggered by certain things, last for months or even years, and interfere with day-to-day functioning, it is most likely PTSD.

PTSD Symptoms

  • Disruptive flashbacks, including hallucinations
  • Feeling “jumpy” and on edge
  • Being overreactive or having outbursts of anger or irritability
  • Sleep issues such as insomnia, nightmares, or night terrors
  • Feelings of guilt or shame
  • Avoidance of anything that could trigger a feeling associated with the event
  • Refusal to talk about what happened

PTSD Triggers

  • Imagery or videos
  • Sounds and noises
  • Scents or smells
  • People – either the person responsible for the trauma or someone that looks like them
  • Places – where the event occurred
  • Situations that make you feel the same way you did during the traumatic event

Treatment Options

Ketamine Therapy for PTSD

Research shows that ketamine is highly effective in treating PTSD, as well as depression, addiction, alcoholism, anxiety, chronic pain, suicidal ideation, migraines, and eating disorders. A study published in 2016 found that a single dose of ketamine was associated with a reduction in symptoms of PTSD, including re-experiencing, avoidance, and numbing. Up to 75% of people with PTSD experienced relief of symptoms following ketamine treatment.

MDMA Therapy (Available 2024)

3,4-methylenedioxy-methamphetamine (MDMA) therapy is an upcoming, highly effective and innovative treatment approach for those suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other mental health conditions. It combines the psychoactive compound MDMA with guided psychological support, and has shown as much as a 75% success rate in patients suffering from PTSD, setting an unprecedented standard for treatment. MDMA therapy is not currently available, but expected to gain FDA approval later this year.
