Understanding PTSD and PTSI: Solutions for healing and recovery
While it is frequently linked with First Responders and Veterans, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or Post-Traumatic Stress Injury (PTSI) can occur in individuals from any walk of life. Indeed, PTSD and PTSI are mental health conditions that can develop after exposure to a traumatic event.
​
It can affect anyone who has experienced or witnessed a life-threatening or intensely distressing event, such as military combat, sexual assault, natural disasters, or accidents. Understanding PTSD and PTSI is crucial for both individuals affected and those supporting them. This is when we come in.
What is PTSD?
PTSD is characterized by symptoms like intrusive memories, flashbacks, nightmares, and severe anxiety. It can significantly impact daily functioning, relationships, and overall well-being. While it is a complex condition, effective treatment options are available to support individuals on their journey to healing.
What is PTSI?
Post-Traumatic Stress Injury (PTSI) is a term that used as an alternative to "disorder" to reduce stigma associated with seeking help for mental health issues. PTSI is essentially a way of framing the condition as an injury rather than a disorder.
