Understanding PTSD: Beyond Western Medicine

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a complex mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. Symptoms like flashbacks, nightmares, and hypervigilance can significantly impact daily life. While traditional Western medicine offers therapeutic and pharmacological interventions, many individuals seek complementary approaches to address the multifaceted nature of PTSD.
