Conditions We Treat
PTSD treatment in Orlando and by telehealth
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can develop after a traumatic experience and affect memories, mood, sleep, and daily life, including unwanted memories and feeling constantly on guard. LifeWell offers outpatient evaluation and care.
What it is
PTSD can develop after someone experiences or witnesses a traumatic event. Symptoms may include unwanted memories, avoidance, changes in mood or thinking, and feeling constantly on guard. Not everyone who experiences trauma develops PTSD, and support can help clarify what is happening.
Common signs
- Unwanted memories, dreams, or reminders of the event
- Avoiding people, places, or conversations connected to it
- Feeling watchful, tense, easily startled, or irritable
- Changes in mood, trust, or connection with others
- Sleep or concentration problems
