Trauma and stressor-related disorders, such as PTSD and acute stress disorder, arise from exposure to traumatic events, causing distress and impairment.

Diagnosis

Our clinicians use the DSM-5 and screening tools like the PTSD Checklist (PCL-5) and Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS) to assess symptoms. A thorough evaluation includes understanding the nature and impact of the trauma, symptom duration, and functional impairment.

Treatment

Treatment often involves trauma-focused therapies, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). We may also prescribe medication to manage symptoms like anxiety or depression.

Outcome expectations

While recovery varies, many patients experience significant symptom reduction, improved coping skills, and better overall functioning with proper treatment and support.
