Traumatic Stress Disorder develops after experiencing or witnessing a distressing event such as abuse, violence, accidents, medical emergencies, or sudden loss. While it is normal to feel shaken after trauma, some individuals continue to experience intrusive memories, emotional distress, and heightened anxiety long after the event has passed. This condition is often referred to as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and can affect both children and adults. At Empowerment Mental Health Solutions LLC in Columbus Ohio, we provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluation and treatment to support recovery and emotional stability.
Trauma affects both the mind and body. Some individuals relive the event through flashbacks or nightmares. Others avoid reminders of the trauma and feel emotionally numb. Common symptoms include hypervigilance, exaggerated startle response, irritability, difficulty sleeping, panic attacks, and persistent fear. Children may show behavioral changes, regression, or emotional withdrawal. A structured psychiatric assessment helps determine whether symptoms meet criteria for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or another trauma related condition requiring treatment.
Traumatic Stress Disorder can disrupt relationships, employment, academic performance, and overall wellbeing. Constant alertness and fear can exhaust the nervous system. Emotional numbness may interfere with connection to loved ones. Without treatment, symptoms can become chronic.
You may notice:
• Recurrent nightmares or distressing memories
• Avoidance of places or conversations related to trauma
• Feeling constantly on edge or easily startled
• Irritability or sudden anger outbursts
• Difficulty concentrating or sleeping
• Emotional detachment from family or friends
