About PTSD

PTSD affects approximately 3.5% of U.S. adults annually and is particularly prevalent among veterans, first responders, and survivors of abuse or accidents. Symptoms include re-experiencing trauma through flashbacks or nightmares, avoidance of trauma reminders, negative mood, and hyperarousal. Evidence-based treatments include Prolonged Exposure (PE), EMDR, and medication with SSRIs or SNRIs.

PTSD is highly treatable with the right care. UHC covers ptsd treatment at Lyte Psychiatry under its mental health benefit.
