If you are living with PTSD, please know you are not alone. The pain you carry is real and so is the support available to you. Vine Health offers compassionate, expert care to help you heal and regain control.

Understanding PTSD

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event, such as a serious accident, natural disaster, violence, or military combat. It causes intense, distressing symptoms that may include flashbacks, nightmares, severe anxiety, and uncontrollable thoughts about the event.

People with PTSD often feel overwhelmed by memories of the trauma, which can affect their daily life, relationships, and sense of safety. It’s important to understand that PTSD is a recognized medical condition—not a sign of weakness—and effective treatments are available to help individuals recover and regain stability.

What causes PTSD?

Road accidents
Violent personal assaults
Severe neglect
Witnessing violent deaths
Being held hostage
Terrorist attacks
Prolonged sexual abuse or violence
Natural disasters, such as earthquakes

Diagnosis & Treatment

At Vine Health, our doctors are experienced in recognizing and treating Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) with compassion and expertise.
Diagnosis:
Our process begins with a thorough clinical assessment, where doctors carefully review your personal history and symptoms. They use evidence-based diagnostic tools and interviews to understand the impact of trauma on your mental health. This helps ensure an accurate diagnosis tailored to your unique experience.
Treatment:
Once diagnosed, our team develops a personalized treatment plan. This may include:
- Psychotherapy: Therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and trauma-focused counseling to help process traumatic memories and reduce symptoms.
- Medication: When appropriate, psychiatrists may prescribe medications to manage symptoms like anxiety, depression, or insomnia associated with PTSD.
- Ongoing Support: Regular follow-ups and support sessions help track progress, adjust treatments, and provide coping strategies.
At Vine Health, we focus on holistic care, empowering patients to regain control, improve their well-being, and move forward in their recovery journey.
