PTSD Treatment: What it is, Who it Affects, and How The Remedy Mental Health Can Help
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a serious mental health condition that can affect anyone who has experienced trauma. Whether it’s related to military service, an accident, abuse, or chronic stress, PTSD can disrupt daily life, relationships, and your sense of self.
At The Remedy Mental Health, we offer advanced, evidence-based PTSD treatment in Minnesota and Wisconsin, including therapy, medication management, and ketamine therapy.
What Is PTSD?
PTSD is a condition that develops in response to experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, common PTSD symptoms include:
- Flashbacks or nightmares
- Avoiding reminders of the trauma
- Negative thoughts and mood changes
- Hypervigilance, insomnia, or irritability
- Being isolated from loved ones
How Common Is PTSD?
From the National Center for PTSD: Most people experience some form of a traumatic event in their lives. Typically, people have a reaction to the event and recover over time. But some people develop PTSD from these events.
- 6% of U.S. adults experience PTSD at some point in their lives
- PTSD is twice as common in women as in men
What Causes PTSD?
PTSD can be triggered by a wide range of traumatic experiences, including:
- Military combat or deployment
- Physical or sexual assault
- Car accidents or injuries
- Domestic violence or childhood abuse
- Medical trauma or chronic illness
- Sudden loss of a loved one
Not everyone who experiences trauma develops PTSD, but risk increases with the intensity, duration, or repetition of the trauma, especially without strong support systems.
PTSD Treatment Options at The Remedy Mental Health
We take a comprehensive, individualized approach to treating PTSD. Our clinicians develop personalized treatment plans using a combination of traditional and interventional methods to promote healing and long-term wellness.
Therapy is a key part of PTSD recovery. We offer trauma-informed care using:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
- Exposure Therapy
- Supportive and integrative therapies
Our psychiatric providers offer medication evaluations and ongoing management to treat symptoms like anxiety, depression, insomnia, or irritability.
Ketamine-assisted treatment offers fast-acting relief for people struggling with severe PTSD. By targeting glutamate receptors in the brain, ketamine can disrupt harmful thought loops, reduce dissociation, and support emotional regulation.
Women face PTSD at nearly twice the rate of men, often linked to reproductive trauma, sexual assault, or domestic violence. We offer specialized care for women, including support for postpartum PTSD and trauma related to pregnancy or birth. Our team provides compassionate, trauma-informed care tailored to each woman’s experience.
