Do you suffer from
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder ( PTSD)?
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) may occur in people who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event such as a natural disaster, a serious accident, war/combat, threatened with death, sexual violence, or serious injury. People with PTSD have intense, disturbing thoughts and feelings related to their experience that last long after the traumatic event has ended. They may relive the event through flashbacks or nightmares; they may feel sadness, fear, or anger; and they may feel detached or estranged from other people. People with PTSD may avoid situations or people or even an event with loud noises.
Studies show “ repeated ketamine administration in individuals with chronic and severe PTSD revealed large-magnitude improvements in PTSD symptoms”.
