What are the complications of trauma?

You may have continuous flashbacks or nightmares, difficulty sleeping or concentrating, or feel you’re always on guard for danger. You might be more prone to panic attacks after undergoing traumatic events.
Seeking treatment can help you overcome negative physical and mental reactions associated with past trauma.
What are examples of traumatic experiences?
Examples of traumatic life events include losing a loved one, being a first responder, being in military combat, or being in a car accident or a natural disaster. Other forms of trauma include physical, verbal, or sexual abuse and witnessing violence.
How does my provider diagnose trauma-related disorders?
Josephine diagnoses mental health disorders related to trauma after reviewing your symptoms and medical history. She asks questions about past traumatic events and your moods, thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and lifestyle. She then tailors an appropriate mental health treatment plan.
