At Nityanand Rehab Centre, serving Pune, Mumbai and clients from across India, we provide specialist PTSD care that blends evidence-based trauma therapies, medication management and holistic support. Our multidisciplinary team, psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, EMDR therapists and mindfulness trainers, work together to help you regain safety, balance and hope.

What Is PTSD?

What Is PTSD?

PTSD is a mental health condition that develops after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. While many people feel distress for a short period, PTSD is diagnosed when symptoms persist for more than a month and cause significant impairment.

Key Symptom Clusters

  • Intrusion – unwanted memories, flashbacks, nightmares
  • Avoidance – steering clear of reminders, places or conversations
  • Negative mood & cognition – guilt, shame, emotional numbness, memory gaps
  • Hyper-arousal – irritability, startle, insomnia, difficulty concentrating

Signs & Symptoms of PTSD

  • Recurrent intrusive memories or distressing dreams of the event
  • Flashbacks - feeling as if the trauma is happening again
  • Emotional numbness or detachment from loved ones
  • Persistent guilt or self-blame about the event
  • Avoiding activities, places or people linked to the trauma
  • Hyper-vigilance, exaggerated startle response, or always "on edge"
  • Sleep problems, anger outbursts, difficulty concentrating
  • Risky coping behaviours such as alcohol or drug misuse

If these symptoms are disrupting daily life, professional help is essential.

FAQs

PTSD is a mental health disorder triggered by a terrifying event, causing flashbacks, nightmares, and emotional distress long after the event has passed.

Symptoms include flashbacks, nightmares, severe anxiety, emotional numbness, and avoidance of reminders associated with the traumatic event.

Treatment typically involves therapy (such as CBT), medication (like antidepressants), and support groups to help individuals manage symptoms and process trauma.

While PTSD may not be "cured," with therapy and medication, individuals can manage their symptoms and lead fulfilling lives.

PTSD can last for months or even years, but with effective treatment, many individuals experience significant improvement in their symptoms over time.
