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 Hampstead residents
Hampstead patients include veterans, first responders, healthcare workers and people affected by accidents, loss or difficult relationships. For families commuting to Derry, Salem and Massachusetts, telehealth can make it easier to talk about hard experiences from a familiar, private space.
Living in Hampstead
Hampstead is a quiet lake town of ponds, stone walls and small neighborhoods around Wash Pond and Sunset Lake. Most high school students head to Pinkerton Academy in Derry, and many parents commute along Route 111 or into Massachusetts, so evening-friendly video follow-ups are popular.
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
