Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a serious mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. Statistics show that approximately 1 in 11 people will experience PTSD at some point in their life, with 3.5% of adults in the United States currently living with the effects.
If you’re struggling with flashbacks, nightmares, and severe anxiety that disrupt your daily activities, you don’t have to suffer in silence. There are effective treatment options available, including telemedicine consultations with a qualified physician.
Texas Cannabis Clinic: Helping Patients Manage PTSD Symptoms
At Texas Cannabis Clinic, led by Matthew Brimberry, MD, our highly trained clinicians can provide comprehensive PTSD evaluations. Dr. Brimberry utilizes telemedicine to connect with patients across the entire state of Texas, including major cities like Austin, Houston, Arlington, and San Antonio.
One patient shared their experience: “Our telehealth visit, following a PTSD diagnostic survey, was the most insightful, unhurried, and thoughtful medical appointment I’ve ever had.” This patient not only received a thorough PTSD evaluation but also gained valuable knowledge about how stress affects the brain and explored potential treatment options beyond just cannabis therapy.
Seeking Additional Support: Resources for Veterans and Those in Crisis
If you’re experiencing suicidal thoughts or a mental health crisis, remember that help is always available. The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline recently switched to a new, easy-to-remember number: 988.
Call, text, or message 988 to connect with a trained counselor who can provide support and resources. Veterans can access specialized support by dialing 988 and pressing 1. The Veterans Crisis Line also remains available at 1-800-273-8255 (press 1) or via text (838255) and chat (VeteransCrisisLine.net/Chat).
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Lasting Relief
At Texas Cannabis Clinic (TCC), our primary goal is to help patients reduce pain and suffering. For individuals with PTSD, we believe that controlling symptoms through medication can open the door to long-term relief through therapy options like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
