PTSD Treatment in Peterborough NH
After a frightening or painful experience, it is common to feel shaken. When memories, nightmares, jumpiness or avoidance continue for weeks or months, it may be post-traumatic stress disorder. PsychNashua offers trauma-informed psychiatric care to Peterborough residents.
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.
