Post Traumatic Stress (PTSD)

PTSD is triggered by a traumatic event or accident – either experiencing or witnessing it. Vantis can help.  

Why Chose Vantis?

Vantis can assist individuals with PTSD, a complicated diagnosis where the clinical presentation of symptoms varies among individuals, including individuals who have experienced the same traumatic event.

How We Help

Diagnosis and Assessment

A Vantsi clinical PTSD expert will administer psychological testing, review medical, and psychological records, and other records to offer an opinion that the specific incident in question caused the PTSD. This helps ensure the court will not reject the opinion. 

Therapy and Treatment

The types of psychotherapy used by Vantis experts to treat people with PTSD include cognitive therapy, exposure therapy, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing. All these approaches can help individuals gain control of lasting fear after a traumatic event.

Medication Management

Several types of medications can also help treat PTSD. Medications include antidepressants to improve sleep problems and concentration, anti-anxiety medications to help improve anxiety and stress, and Prazosin which can surprise insomnia or recurring nightmares.

Who gets PTSD and Symptoms?

Anyone can get PTSD. When in danger, it’s natural to feel afraid. This fear triggers many split-second changes in the body to prepare to defend against the danger or to avoid it. This “fight-or-flight” response is a healthy reaction meant to protect a person from harm. But in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), this reaction is changed or damaged. People who have PTSD may feel stressed or frightened even when they’re no longer in danger. 

  • Flashbacks, or reliving the traumatic event
  • Feeling emotionally numb
  • Avoiding activities you once enjoyed
  • Upsetting dreams about the traumatic event
  • Feeling hopeless
  • Memory problems
  • Trouble concentrating
  • Difficulty maintaining close relationships
  • Irritability or anger
  • Overwhelming guilt or shame
  • Try to avoid thinking about the traumatic event
  • Trouble sleeping

Psychological injuries can be the hardest to treat. Vantis provides the right mental health expert for your case.
