Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) management counselling

Does this sound like you?

• You or someone in your social circles went through a traumatic event, and their lives have never been the same again. They seem like they have lost their mind?
• Could what they are going through qualify as PTSD? Does it have treatment besides counselling? Where is the starting point for the treatment, Psychiatrist, Psychologist, Clergies, or Counsellor?
• How long will it take to get the affected person functioning effectively again?
• I am normally a strong person before calamity, but this time around, I am overwhelmed by sadness, tears, and have lost interest in things I used to do. Could it be PTSD?
• I cannot sleep because of insomnia, and when I manage to sleep, I wake from scary nightmares and terrors, my heart palpitating. Could this be PTSD?
• If these statements and questions resonate with you or someone you know, it’s important to visit a counsellor for assessment, therapy, and or referral.
