Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

Positive Mind Care and Research Centre is a leading mental health care  facility of Delhi – NCR, dedicated to helping individuals to overcome Major Depressive Disorder and reclaim their joyful lives through a unique breakthrough technology called Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (Deep TMS), which can reach significant depth and breadth of the brain and produce broad stimulation and functional modulation of targeted brain areas to help treat MDD.

Deep TMS treatment features unique, patented coils that are fitted into a helmet, which is secured snugly to the patient’s head during the treatment. We are using BrainsWay’s therapy, which has been utilized in over 60 clinical trials worldwide. The company’s device has been FDA approved for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) since 2013, FDA cleared (De-Novo) for the treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) since 2018, FDA cleared as an aid for short-term Smoking Cessation since 2020, and has now received an expanded indication for Anxious Depression.

What is Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)?

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that can develop in individuals who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event. It is a type of anxiety disorder that can have long-lasting effects on a person’s emotional, psychological, and physical well-being. PTSD can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, or background, and the severity of the symptoms can vary from person to person.

PTSD can significantly impact a person’s quality of life, relationships, and ability to function effectively. It is essential to seek professional help if someone is experiencing symptoms of PTSD, as early intervention can lead to better outcomes.

Treatment for PTSD often involves psychotherapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), which helps individuals process the trauma and develop coping strategies. Medications, such as antidepressants or anti-anxiety drugs, may also be prescribed to manage specific symptoms. With appropriate treatment and support, many people with PTSD can experience significant improvement in their symptoms and overall well-being.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) DEMOGRAPHICS

About 8 in 100 women and 4 in 100 men suffer from PTSD at some point in their life.

SYMPTOMS

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. Symptoms of PTSD can vary from person to person and may manifest in different ways. The symptoms are generally categorized into four main clusters:

Intrusive thoughts and memories

   – Distressing or recurrent memories of the traumatic event.

   – Nightmares related to the trauma.

   – Flashbacks, feeling as if the traumatic event is happening again.

   – Intense emotional distress or physical reactions when exposed to reminders of the trauma.

Avoidance

   – Avoiding thoughts, feelings, or conversations related to the trauma.

   – Avoiding places, people, or activities that remind one of the traumatic event.

   – Difficulty recalling important aspects of the trauma.

Negative changes in mood and cognition

   – Persistent negative emotions (e.g., fear, guilt, shame, anger).

   – Feeling emotionally numb or detached from others.

   – Decreased interest in activities once enjoyed.

   – Difficulty experiencing positive emotions.

   – Negative beliefs about oneself, others, or the world.

   – Difficulty trusting others or forming close relationships.

Arousal and reactivity

   – Irritability and anger outbursts.

   – Reckless or self-destructive behavior.

   – Hypervigilance (constantly being on guard) and an exaggerated startle response.

   – Problems with concentration and sleep disturbances.

It’s essential to note that these symptoms must persist for more than a month and significantly interfere with daily life functioning to be considered PTSD. If you or someone you know is experiencing these symptoms, it’s crucial to seek professional help from mental health professionals. Treatment options such as therapy (e.g., cognitive-behavioral therapy) and, in some cases, medication can be effective in managing and overcoming PTSD.

How does Deep TMS Work ?

Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (Deep TMS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique that has been studied as a potential treatment for various neuropsychiatric conditions, including smoking addiction. While the research in this area is still ongoing, Deep TMS has shown some promising results in helping individuals with smoking addiction. Here’s how Deep TMS may help in treating smoking addiction:

  • Targeting Reward and Craving Pathways: Deep TMS can be applied to specific brain regions associated with reward processing and cravings, such as the prefrontal cortex and the insula. These brain areas play a role in the reinforcement and motivation aspects of addiction, including smoking.
  • Reducing Cravings and Withdrawal Symptoms: By stimulating targeted brain regions, Deep TMS may help reduce cravings for nicotine and alleviate withdrawal symptoms that individuals experience when trying to quit smoking.
  • Modulating Neurotransmitters: Deep TMS can influence the release and activity of neurotransmitters in the brain, such as dopamine and serotonin, which are involved in the reward system. By modulating these neurotransmitters, Deep TMS may impact the pleasure and reinforcement associated with smoking.
  • Enhancing Self-Control and Decision-Making: Some research suggests that Deep TMS may improve cognitive functions related to self-control and decision-making. Strengthening these abilities can be beneficial in resisting the urge to smoke and making healthier choices.
  • Long-Term Effects on Craving Reduction: Studies have shown that Deep TMS sessions can lead to long-lasting effects on reducing cravings, making it a potential treatment option for maintaining abstinence from smoking in the long term.
  • Personalized Treatment: Deep TMS allows for individualized treatment by targeting specific brain regions relevant to each person’s smoking addiction. This personalized approach may lead to more effective outcomes.
