PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) management

PTSD management involves professional therapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), to help process traumatic memories and reduce symptoms. Medications like antidepressants may also be prescribed to manage anxiety and depression. Support from family and friends, along with self-care activities like regular exercise, mindfulness, and routines, are essential. Education about PTSD helps individuals understand their condition and reduce stigma. Recovery varies; consistent treatment and support improve coping, reduce distress, and enable individuals to regain control over their lives.
