Suggest treatment for traumatic stress disorder with irritability
Patient: how do i go about getting a diagnosis for post traumatic stress disorder? its not me its my mother. she has been incorrectly diagnosed about 5 times now. she has been put on about ten tablets a day, and has started getting worse and worse. also its like all her anger she has carried with her for yrs is suddenly coming out. this is a living nightmare, her gp is the one who put her on all these tablets but the neurologist we seen for yet another diagnosis, said its ptsd, she doesnt need to be on all these tablets. what would you advise? Doctor: DearWe understand your concernsI went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. The given case is beyond the treatment ambit of online concept. If your neurologist says your mother has PTSD, she needs psychiatric treatment as well as rehabilitation therapy. Psychotherapy and meitation and breathing exercises should also do good. Work with your GP and neurologist for good treatment.In case if you need more explanation in this regard, please post a direct query to me in this website. I am happy to explain.Hope this answers your concerns.Good luck.
