A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who specializes in mental health illnesses and can prescribe medication. Psychologists use psychotherapy to support patients and can’t prescribe medication as they are not medical doctors.
You don’t need to go through PTSD alone. The primary treatments for PTSD are talking therapies, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and, if necessary, medication. Treatment for PTSD can help you regain a sense of control in your life.
Psychiatrists are medical doctors with extensive training and knowledge in treating mental health disorders. Psychiatrists who specialize in PTSD regularly treat patients who are healing from trauma.
Left untreated, PTSD symptoms may get worse over time, with symptoms typically lasting much longer, sometimes years. Because PTSD can be debilitating, it can severely impact your ability to function and quality of life if left untreated.
Someone with PTSD often experiences vivid memories, nightmares, and flashbacks. They may also have problems concentrating and sleeping. PTSD can make you feel constantly on edge and anxious and cause difficulties in everyday life, like trusting people or being able to hold down a job.
