Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and treatment with NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback and PNEI
What is PTSD?
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a serious mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. PTSD is characterised by persistent anxiety, re-experiencing of the trauma, and avoidance behaviour. These symptoms can severely impair daily functioning and quality of life.
Symptoms of PTSD
- Flashbacks Flashbacks, nightmares and intrusive memories of the traumatic event.
- Avoidance behaviour Avoiding places, people, and activities that trigger memories of the trauma.
- Negative changes in thinking and mood: Feelings of hopelessness, alienation from others, and difficulty experiencing positive emotions.
- Hyperarousal Increased irritability, difficulty sleeping, concentration problems, and excessive startle responses.
- Emotional problems Anxiety, depression, and irritability as a result of the trauma.
