The main treatments available for people with PTSD are Psychotherapy, medication or a combination of them both. Everyone is different, and treatment that is effective for one person may not be for another. Some people might need to try different treatments to find the one that works in reducing the symptoms.
No matter what option you choose, it is important for anyone experiencing PTSD to be treated by a Mental Health Professional and is experienced with working with people with PTSD.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is evidence-based therapy that has been found to be the most effective treatment for PTSD. CBT for PTSD is trauma focused, it focuses on identifying, understanding, and challenging thinking and behavioural patterns. The skills learnt through the weekly CBT sessions are encouraged to be practiced repeatedly outside of the therapy times. This helps to support symptom improvement

EMDR
The EMDR therapy uses Bilateral stimulation, right/left eye movement, or tactile stimulation, which repeatedly activated the opposite sides of the brain, releasing emotional experiences that are trapped in the nervous system. This assists the neurophysiological system, the basis of mind and body connection, to then let go of blockages and be able to reconnect itself
Medication
Antidepressants such as Paroxetine, Sertraline, Mirtazapine or amitriptyline are sometimes used to treat PTSD in adults. Of these medications, only Paroxetine and Sertraline are licensed specifically for the treatment of PTSD. But mirtazapine and amitriptyline have also been found to be effective and may be recommended as well.
Within the UK mental health problems in the workplace, cost the economy approximately £70 billion annually and 91 million workdays are lost in the UK, due to symptoms of mental illness.
These staggering figures show how many people are struggling with their mental health and how this affects their daily lives. This highlights how much money is lost, through absenteeism and a decrease in productivity. Its currently a lose -lose situation. However there is a way to avoid this happening in your company. WHO has estimated that for every £1 a company invests into training and support of mental health disorders, they see a return of £4, with improved health and productivity. Now that is a win -win situation?
