Dr. Scott has extensive experience in assessing both combat related and community based PTSD.
After a trauma or life-threatening event, it is common to have reactions such as upsetting memories of the event, increased jumpiness, or trouble sleeping. If these reactions do not go away, or if they get worse, you may have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). PTSD can vary from mild to severe and can sometimes take over a person's entire life.
PTSD is a mental health condition that develops following a traumatic event. PTSD is very common (More than 3 million cases per year in US). PTSD can be lifelong and can develop weeks, months or years after a traumatic event.
PTSD is an anxiety disorder that develops following frightening, stressful, or distressing life events. Characterized by intense fear, helplessness, and stress, PTSD affects normal life and functioning of the patient.
