Vad är PTSD? Symtom och diagnos

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that falls under anxiety disorders.PTSD can PTSD after experiencing or witnessing traumatic events, which can be caused by psychological, physical, or spiritual harm.
After such an event, individuals often struggle to process the traumatic memories, which can manifest as flashbacks or nightmares.People with PTSD may lose the memory of the traumatic experience, although other symptoms, such as anxiety and fear, remain.

According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), early intervention is essential for managing these symptoms and improving recovery outcomes.

We combine evidence-based therapy with a holistic PTSD treatment approach, addressing not only the psychological symptoms but also the emotional, physical, and behavioral effects of trauma.
Psychotherapy for PTSD
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
Understand why the traumatic experience continues to affect you
Challenge unhelpful thought patterns
Develop healthier emotional responses
Most CPT programs include around 12 sessions, but treatment duration is always tailored to the individual.
Desensitisering och bearbetning med ögonrörelser (EMDR)
This bilateral stimulation enables the brain to reprocess traumatic memories, thereby reducing their emotional charge and facilitating the nervous system's return to balance.
Förlängd exponeringsterapi
This form of therapy teaches patients to gradually face the traumatic memories and triggers they’ve been avoiding.
Through guided visualization and structured exposure, individuals learn how to:
- Tolerate distressing thoughts or memories
- Practice breathing and relaxation techniques
- Reduce emotional reactivity over time
Prolonged Exposure Therapy is particularly effective for people who feel stuck in fight-or-flight mode long after the trauma occurred.
Stress Inoculation Therapy (SIT)
SIT is a cognitive-behavioral method used to reduce anxiety and prevent stress overload. Whether in individual or group therapy, patients learn practical tools such as:
- Deep breathing
- Positive self-talk
- Mental rehearsal techniques
- Physical relaxation strategies (e.g., massage)
This approach builds emotional resilience and empowers patients to handle trauma-related stress in daily life.
Medication for PTSD
Målet med dessa mediciner är att hjälpa patienten att sluta tänka på den traumatiska händelsen, inklusive mardrömmar eller flashbacks.
De vanligaste läkemedlen som används för att stödja PTSD-behandlingar är antidepressiva medel. Antidepressiva läkemedel, såsom selektiva serotoninåterupptagshämmare (SSRI), är ofta viktiga vid behandling av ångest och depression och kan hjälpa PTSD-patienter med sömn och koncentration.
På Miracles Asia tittar våra psykologer alltid på varje enskilt fall för att avgöra om läkemedelsbehandling behövs eller är lämplig.
In some cases, psychotherapy alone may not be enough. Medication-assisted PTSD treatment can help reduce persistent symptoms such as nightmares, flashbacks, or insomnia.
Commonly prescribed medications include:
- SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors) to improve mood and reduce anxiety
- Sleep aids or anti-anxiety medications, prescribed on a case-by-case basis
Our medical team evaluates each client individually to determine whether medication is appropriate as part of their mental health treatment plan.

PTSD and Addiction: Understanding the Link Between Trauma and Substance Abuse

Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and addiction are two heavily correlated mental disorders.Research shows that PTSD can alter the brain in ways that increase vulnerability to substance use disorders, making these conditions difficult to separate. In many cases, they develop simultaneously and intensify one another; a condition known as a co-occurring disorder, according to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
Many individuals turn to drugs, alcohol, or destructive behaviors like gambling, pornography, or compulsive sex to cope with unresolved trauma. What begins as a short-term escape often becomes a long-term addiction.
These are not assumptions — they’re backed by data. According to research:
- Nearly 50% of individuals with PTSD also meet the criteria for a substance use disorder
People with PTSD are 14 times more likely to be diagnosed with a behavioral or chemical addiction underscoring the importance of trauma-informed, integrated care
This strong correlation is one reason so many people seek dual diagnosis treatment at holistic rehab centers like Miracles Asia.
