Post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, is estimated to affect as many as 8% of Canadians during their lifetime. This number may even be higher, as there has been a recent expansion of the defining characteristics of PTSD with the release of the DSM-V, the guiding manual for diagnosing mental health. If you believe that you may be suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Evergreen Wellness is here for you. With a team of highly trained professionals using multidisciplinary approaches and therapies, Evergreen Wellness can help you develop the tools you need to cope and move through your PTSD, and take your first steps on your journey to better physical, mental, and emotional health and wellness.
When a person goes through a traumatic event, such as a sexual assault, exposure to significant stress for an extended period of time, or watching someone die in front of them, they may struggle with what has happened. While a period of uneasiness and anxiety immediately following the event is normal, continued preoccupation, intense depression, or having physical reactions when remembering the event may indicate a diagnosis of PTSD. Even those who have not experienced a traumatic event first-hand, but have experienced it through a loved one, or those who have experienced a threatening event, may develop PTSD.
