PTSD

Understanding PTSD

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event such as combat, assault, accidents, natural disasters, or other life-threatening situations. PTSD involves persistent symptoms that interfere with daily functioning, relationships, work, and overall quality of life.

Unlike normal stress reactions that gradually improve over time, PTSD symptoms persist for months or years and may worsen without appropriate treatment. The condition affects how the brain processes and responds to traumatic memories, leading to heightened stress responses, intrusive thoughts, avoidance behaviors, and changes in mood and cognition.

PTSD can affect anyone regardless of age, background, or previous mental health history. With proper treatment including trauma-focused therapy and medication when appropriate, many individuals with PTSD can experience significant symptom reduction and improved functioning.

PTSD is typically diagnosed by a licensed healthcare provider through comprehensive mental health evaluation, detailed trauma history assessment, symptom review based on diagnostic criteria, and evaluation of functional impairment.

If you are experiencing symptoms of PTSD or have concerns about trauma-related mental health, it is important to speak with your provider for proper evaluation and guidance.

Common Symptoms of PTSD

Re-experiencing Symptoms

  • Intrusive memories or flashbacks of the traumatic event
  • Nightmares or distressing dreams
  • Severe emotional distress or physical reactions to trauma reminders
  • Feeling as if the traumatic event is happening again

Avoidance Symptoms

  • Avoiding thoughts, feelings, or conversations about the trauma
  • Avoiding people, places, activities, or situations that trigger memories
  • Emotional numbing or detachment
  • Loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities

Negative Changes in Mood and Cognition

  • Persistent negative beliefs about oneself or the world
  • Distorted blame of self or others
  • Persistent negative emotional state (fear, anger, guilt, shame)
  • Difficulty remembering important aspects of the traumatic event
  • Feeling detached or estranged from others

Hyperarousal Symptoms

  • Irritability or angry outbursts
  • Reckless or self-destructive behavior
  • Hypervigilance (constantly on guard)
  • Exaggerated startle response
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Sleep disturbances
Informational Note:

Everyone experiences PTSD differently. Personalized compounding may be considered when commercially available medications or formulations do not meet a patient's specific needs.

Medications for PTSD: Treatment Options

PTSD is often managed through a combination of trauma-focused psychotherapy (such as cognitive processing therapy or prolonged exposure therapy), medication, support systems, and self-care strategies. Your provider will determine which options are appropriate based on your symptom presentation, trauma history, medical background, and treatment goals.

Common Types of PTSD Medications

Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs)

Medications such as sertraline or paroxetine may be prescribed by healthcare providers as first-line medications for PTSD to help manage core symptoms.

Serotonin-Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors (SNRIs)

Options such as venlafaxine may be used to address PTSD symptoms, depending on the patient’s presentation and provider recommendation.

Atypical Antipsychotics

Medications such as quetiapine or risperidone may be prescribed as adjunctive treatment for certain PTSD symptoms including sleep disturbances, nightmares, or severe hyperarousal.

Prazosin

An alpha-blocker that may be prescribed specifically to reduce trauma-related nightmares and improve sleep quality in PTSD.

Mood Stabilizers

Certain mood-stabilizing medications may be considered for managing irritability, anger, or mood instability associated with PTSD.

Anti-Anxiety Medications

Short-term use of medications for acute anxiety may be prescribed, though long-term use requires careful monitoring.

Combination Therapies

Many patients require multiple medications to address the various symptoms of PTSD. Compounding may allow certain medications to be combined into one formulation if prescribed.
