PTSD is often associated with veterans who have returned from combat, but the reality is, post-traumatic stress disorder can affect anyone at any age. A traumatic event can cause even the strongest of people to develop symptoms of this debilitating disorder.

Symptoms of PTSD include flashbacks, frightening thoughts, and avoidance of places or thoughts that remind a person of the traumatic experience. These symptoms can severely impact a person’s quality of life and even lead to extreme behaviors, including suicidal thoughts and actions.

There are many treatment options for PTSD, including psychotherapy, medication and neurofeedback. As with any brain disorder, some treatments work well for many while others don’t have the same results. Therefore many people will try several treatment options to find the one that works best for their individual brain.

Neurofeedback treats the symptoms of PTSD by retraining the brainwaves that became dysregulated due to the traumatic event. Repeated training sessions will teach the brain how to regulate itself, thereby relieving many, if not all, of the debilitating symptoms, without medication.
