Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a condition that can develop following exposure to a traumatic or highly stressful event. It may affect emotional regulation, memory processing, sleep, and overall nervous system function. Individuals with PTSD may experience persistent distress that interferes with daily life, relationships, and a sense of safety. In an integrative medicine model, PTSD is viewed not simply as a diagnosis, but as a reflection of dysregulation within the brain, nervous system, and whole-body physiology.

Rather than focusing solely on symptom management, an integrative approach combines conventional medical care with evidence-based complementary therapies to identify and address contributing factors. These may include chronic activation of the stress response, neurotransmitter imbalances, inflammation, hormonal disruptions, sleep disturbances, and altered brain-body signaling.

Individuals experiencing PTSD often report heightened reactivity, emotional distress, and difficulty returning to a state of calm after triggers. Symptoms can vary in intensity and may fluctuate over time depending on stress levels, environment, and overall health.

Common Symptoms May Include:

Intrusive memories, flashbacks, or distressing dreams
Heightened startle response or hypervigilance
Avoidance of reminders associated with trauma
Emotional numbness or detachment
Irritability or mood instability
Difficulty sleeping or persistent fatigue
Difficulty concentrating or mental fog
