What Is Trauma?

Trauma refers to a deeply disturbing or distressing experience that has lasting emotional, psychological, and sometimes physical effects. It can be a one-time event, like an accident, or ongoing, such as prolonged abuse.

Trauma can manifest as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It often overwhelms the individual’s ability to cope, leading to feelings of helplessness, a diminished sense of self, and an inability to feel a full range of emotions.

PTSD Assessment

PTSD assessment at MEDvidi includes a detailed interview with a licensed medical provider. It can also be supplemented with answering specific PTSD assessment questionnaires. All this will help to determine whether you have mild or severe PTSD or complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD).

A healthcare provider will examine the four categories of PTSD symptoms:

Complex PTSD or CPTSD may develop in people who had chronic trauma or had frightening experiences repeatedly. When it comes to complex trauma assessment, a healthcare provider also examines emotional, cognitive, behavioral, interpersonal, and somatic symptoms and issues.

Depressionanxiety, substance abuse, and other mental disorders often go hand in hand with PTSD. Therefore, you may have to take other tests and psychological assessments in addition to the PTSD assessment scale if the symptoms of these conditions are observed.

FAQ
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition occurring as a response to a traumatic experience. It may develop in children and adults who have gone through or witnessed terrifying or life-threatening events.
Psychotherapy treatment for PTSD includes 8 to 12 weekly therapy sessions 60 to 90 minutes each. However, the post-traumatic stress disorder treatment plan can be prolonged up to 30 sessions during 6 months. Some patients will need about 18 months to achieve relief. If medications are prescribed, patients most often take them for at least 12 months and tapering off requires at least 4-6 weeks.
Self-care is an essential part of PTSD treatment, including relaxation techniques, connecting with family and friends, regular physical activity, journaling, and other self-help methods. However, professional support may be needed if self-help methods are not enough.
If PTSD symptoms are so severe they make the patient unable to work, PTSD can be considered a disability if certain medical criteria are met.
PTSD treatment can take more or less time depending on the severity of symptoms, the intensity of trauma, and one’s readiness to go through the treatment process with strong dedication and consistency. It requires even more effort if the patient has complex PTSD. Proper support and adherence to the treatment plan increase the chances of achieving the desired results.
Yes, online therapy can be effective for treating trauma and PTSD for many individuals. However, its efficacy depends on the person’s specific needs, the severity of their trauma, and the therapist’s expertise. It’s essential to choose a platform or therapist specializing in trauma and to ensure the approach aligns with the individual’s comfort and therapeutic requirements.
Managing PTSD triggers often involves a combination of strategies, such as exposure therapy, under the guidance of a qualified healthcare provider. Techniques like grounding exercises, mindfulness, and coping skills can also be helpful. However, individualized treatment is essential for effective management.

The treatment for trauma can vary depending on the individual and the nature of the traumatic event. The most commonly recommended treatments are the following:

  1. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). This approach helps individuals understand and change their patterns of thought and behavior.
  2. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). This involves recalling traumatic experiences while receiving side-to-side eye movements, sounds, or hand taps. The aim is to help the brain reprocess the traumatic memories, reducing their psychological impact.
  3. Medication. Antidepressants or anti-anxiety medications are sometimes used in conjunction with other forms of therapy to treat symptoms associated with trauma, such as depression and anxiety.
Stopping PTSD episodes often involves a combination of coping mechanisms, like grounding techniques, and professional treatment, like medication or cognitive-behavioral therapy. Immediate intervention may include focusing on your breath, grounding yourself in the present, and seeking a safe space. However, for long-term management, consult a healthcare provider for diagnosis and a personalized treatment plan.
Yes, with appropriate treatment and support, many people with PTSD are able to lead fulfilling lives.
