After returning from military service, some parts of your life, and your inner self, may be forever changed. Finding your feet again in civilian life can take some time, and your life as a veteran may also include coping with the mental health challenges of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Military experience is one of the types of life events most likely to trigger PTSD. If you’re struggling with anxious feelings, sleep disturbances, or combat flashbacks, know that you’re not alone. Many have walked this road before you, and many walk alongside you every day of your recovery.
At Anywhere Wellness, our team knows a lot about successful treatment for PTSD. This type of mental health condition often improves with the right care, so reach out as soon as you suspect you might be suffering from PTSD symptoms.
We’re accepting new patients in Washington, Idaho, Oregon, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, and Florida, and we’re just a phone call or online message away.
Seeking support for PTSD
If you’ve experienced or witnessed a traumatic event, your brain and body were focused on survival at the time. But after you get through the immediate situation, mental health complications may follow you until you receive the right support.
Your brain is struggling to catch up, working on processing everything you’ve gone through. This can cause disruptive symptoms during both your waking and sleeping hours.
Intrusive memories can take the form of flashbacks, triggered by sights, sounds, or smells during the day. You may also suffer from nightmares, insomnia, or sleep disturbances.
People with PTSD struggle with both hyper-alertness and a drive toward avoidance. It’s hard to stand down and not be on your guard fully at all times. You may also find that you’re structuring your life around avoiding mental health triggers, limiting your activities and opportunities.
PTSD causes a low or depressed mood. You might find it difficult to feel connected with the people you love or to socialize with groups. You’re likely to spend a lot of your time feeling guilty, fearful, and stressed.
You may be able to cope with these symptoms, but with professional treatment, you can recover and find new balance as a veteran. If you’re undiagnosed, your provider at Anywhere Wellness can diagnose you after a confidential psychiatric evaluation.
We discuss your symptoms, their impact, and how long you’ve been feeling the way you are. If, after hearing your story, we diagnose PTSD, you can begin treatment without delay.
