How care begins
The evaluation focuses on current symptoms, and you decide how much of the event to share. Your psychiatrist also screens for depression, substance use and sleep problems that often come with PTSD.

Trauma care for Chester residents
Chester patients include veterans, first responders, healthcare workers and people affected by accidents, loss or difficult relationships. For families commuting to Derry, Manchester and Massachusetts, telehealth can make it easier to talk about hard experiences from a familiar, private space.
Living in Chester
Chester is a rural town of farms, orchards and wooded back roads between Derry and Raymond. High school students typically attend Pinkerton Academy in Derry, and many parents commute along Route 102 or I-93, so video follow-ups save a lot of driving.
Common symptoms of PTSD
- Intrusive memories or flashbacks
- Nightmares and poor sleep
- Avoiding reminders, places or conversations
- Feeling on edge, easily startled or irritable
- Negative changes in mood, trust or self-image
