Muse Treatment Observes PTSD Awareness Month in June

Los Angeles, California -

Los Angeles, California – In recognition of PTSD Awareness Month, Muse Treatment is joining the national effort to raise awareness about post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This month serves as an opportunity to educate the public about PTSD, its causes, and the treatments available to those affected by this challenging condition.

PTSD is a mental health condition triggered by experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. It is characterized by a variety of symptoms, including intrusive memories, avoidance behaviors, negative changes in thinking and mood, and changes in physical and emotional reactions. These symptoms can significantly impair a person’s ability to function in daily life and can persist for months or even years after the traumatic event.

The causes of PTSD are vast. Military combat veterans are particularly susceptible to PTSD due to the extreme stress and danger encountered during service. Survivors of events like hurricanes, earthquakes, and floods often experience PTSD. Car crashes, workplace accidents, and other life-threatening events can lead to PTSD. Victims of physical or sexual assault, robbery, or domestic violence may develop PTSD. Survivors of childhood trauma, abuse, neglect, or the sudden loss of a parent or guardian during childhood can result in PTSD.

Several effective treatments for PTSD can help people manage and reduce their symptoms, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), a form of talk therapy that helps patients identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapy that involves recalling traumatic experiences while simultaneously focusing on external stimuli such as eye movements, which can help reduce the emotional impact of the memories. Antidepressants, particularly selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), are commonly prescribed to help manage PTSD symptoms.
