Most people associate this disorder with combat veterans but any traumatic event can cause severe symptoms. Victims of abuse, tragic accidents or natural disasters are all at risk of the debilitating side-effects of PTSD. In fact, females are twice as likely to develop PTSD in their lifetime and 3 times as likely to develop it seasonally. While reconciling with the traumatic event works for some, others struggle to overcome their symptoms. This can often lead to depression, anxiety, substance abuse and a host of other disorders. Lifetree Utah\u2019s psychiatry and ketamine therapy is a modern treatment to fight against the life-altering symptoms associated with PTSD.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Signs and Symptoms of PTSD<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The list of symptoms for PTSD is long and varied, these issues combined can create peripheral problems in the mental health of patients. Traumatic events often have lasting effects resulting in compromised neurological well-being. Furthermore, people suffering from PTSD are in desperate need of a solution, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbrfoundation.org\/blog\/will-ketamine-be-breakthrough-drug-ptsd\">only 10% of patients find relief from SSRIs<\/a> compared to a placebo. Here are some signs and symptoms to look for if you feel PTSD is seriously affecting life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Anxiety<\/li><li>Depression<\/li><li>Flashbacks<\/li><li>Loss of interest in daily activities<\/li><li>Emotional Numbness<\/li><li>Distressful memories of the traumatic event<\/li><li>Avoiding social interactions and certain places<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PTSD and Ketamine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The history of PTSD treatment has traditionally been a regiment of anti-depressants. These medications are generally classified as Standard Seratonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs). While a tenth of the patients eventually find results, the other 90% are left with little to no relief. This creates a guessing game of medications that often take weeks to notice positive effects. In PTSD patients rapid effectiveness is paramount. Ketamine therapy is unique in its rapid effectiveness by decreasing symptoms in time-sensitive conditions such as PTSD. Furthermore, the swift efficacy of ketamine therapy is helping in situations such as suicidal ideation.
