Post traumatic stress disorder (commonly referred to as PTSD) can have a massive impact on mental health and quality of life for those dealing with it, so it’s essential to learn as much as possible about it if you’re dealing with this condition (or if you have a loved one with PTSD). This week in the Let’s Talk About Mental Health podcast I’m going over important questions like: What is PTSD? What’s involved in the management of PTSD? How can you manage PTSD triggers, and what are some of the main PTSD treatment options? And, most importantly, what can you do to take control and manage your PTSD? While this episode isn’t going to give you an exhaustive list of post traumatic stress disorder treatment options, it will definitely increase your PTSD awareness and help you to understand how to treat PTSD in partnership with trained professionals. PTSD management is a journey, and the good news is that things can and will get better if you’re dealing with this condition. Ready to talk about how to manage PTSD in a healthy way?
