Trauma can happen in many ways — from surviving or witnessing a life-threatening event, to experiencing violence, abuse, loss, or a medical emergency.
Not everyone who experiences trauma develops post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). But for some, the brain doesn’t fully process what happened, and the past danger feels like it’s still happening in the present.
PTSD is different from general trauma. While many types of trauma can affect your mental health, PTSD has specific criteria: it follows witnessing, experiencing, or knowing a family member or close friend experienced - a traumatic event (life threatening or sexually violent). For professionals like first responders and healthcare workers, it can be caused by repeated indirect exposure to the details of trauma. Regardless of the cause though, the symptoms are ongoing and interfere with daily life.
The hopeful part? PTSD is one of the only mental health conditions that can be resolved. With the right combination of therapy and support, the brain can relearn how to feel safe. Medication doesn’t “cure” PTSD on its own, but it can help make the healing process easier by reducing symptoms like anxiety, insomnia, or mood changes.
Medication can help calm the nervous system, improve sleep, and regulate mood so that therapy (the main treatment for PTSD) is more effective and easier to engage in.
Medication management - Reducing symptoms like hypervigilance, irritability, nightmares, or insomnia.
Sleep support - Addressing frequent nightmares or restlessness that keep recovery out of reach.
Collaboration with trauma specialists - Referrals to therapists trained in evidence-based trauma therapies, while we manage the medical side.
Symptom relief strategies - Helping you feel safer and more regulated in daily life while you heal.
If you’ve experienced a traumatic event and symptoms last more than a month, especially if they interfere with daily life, it may be PTSD.
Yes. Symptoms can show up long after the original event, often triggered by stress or reminders.
Unlikely. PTSD often lingers or worsens over time. You may feel okay for a while, but symptoms tend to resurface with triggers. Treatment makes long-term recovery possible.
Medication doesn't cure PTSD but can ease symptoms like sleep problems, irritability, or depression. This makes it easier to engage in therapy and everyday life.
If only! Brains don’t work like computer files. But with the right care, the memories lose their power, and you can feel safe and steady again.
No. At Madix Clinic, you don’t need to rehash every moment. We focus on helping you feel better in the present while supporting therapy that can address the deeper processing.
