Trauma affects everyone differently, explains Ernesto Ortiz Cruzado, MD, a psychiatrist at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. Symptoms that affect a patient’s lifestyle may include nightmares, flashbacks or hyper vigilance. While Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a common issue for people exposed to trauma, psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy and medications, such as Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors ( SSRI), can be very effective treatments.
