PTSD Q & A

What is PTSD?

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. Trauma affects everyone differently, and symptoms may appear shortly after an experience or develop gradually over time. PTSD can affect your emotional well-being, relationships, sleep, concentration, and ability to feel safe or connected in daily life. Many people with PTSD feel constantly on edge, emotionally overwhelmed, or stuck reliving difficult experiences long after the danger has passed.

What symptoms can PTSD cause?

PTSD symptoms can affect both the mind and body and may vary from person to person. Common symptoms may include:

Flashbacks or unwanted memories
Nightmares or trouble sleeping
Feeling anxious, startled, or constantly on edge
Avoiding places, conversations, or situations connected to trauma
Difficulty concentrating or feeling emotionally disconnected
Irritability, anger, or emotional numbness
Feelings of guilt, shame, or hopelessness
Panic attacks or heightened stress responses

These symptoms can interfere with work, relationships, daily routines, and overall emotional wellness.

How do you know when it is time to seek support?

Many people try to manage PTSD symptoms on their own for long periods before seeking help. You may benefit from professional support if trauma-related symptoms are affecting your quality of life, relationships, sleep, emotional health, or ability to function day to day. At My Buoyant Health, providers create a safe, respectful space where you can openly discuss your experiences without judgment. Care is personalized, collaborative, and focused on helping you feel supported throughout the healing process.

What treatment options are available for PTSD?

PTSD treatment often involves a combination of approaches based on your symptoms, goals, and treatment history. At My Buoyant Health, care may include medication management, supportive therapy, coping strategies, and lifestyle support to help improve emotional regulation and daily functioning.

For individuals struggling with treatment-resistant depression or ongoing trauma-related symptoms, providers may also recommend Spravato® ketamine therapy as part of a comprehensive treatment plan. Treatment is designed to support long-term healing while helping you feel more stable, supported, and hopeful over time.
