PTSD
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health issue that affects individuals who have experienced or witnessed traumatic events, such as abuse, natural disasters or combat situations. Symptoms can persist for extended periods and impact daily life, with women being more likely to be diagnosed than men. Seeking help from healthcare providers is essential for managing PTSD symptoms through treatments like psychotherapy and medication.
PTSD occurs in people who have experienced or witnessed traumatic events, leading to long-lasting distressing thoughts and feelings related to the event.
Symptoms include flashbacks, avoidance, difficulty concentrating, and sleep problems which can interfere with a person’s ability to function in daily life.
Women are more likely to develop PTSD than men due to various factors such as increased likelihood of experiencing certain types of trauma and biological differences in response to stress.
Treatment options include psychotherapy, medication, and support from loved ones, all of which can help individuals overcome their symptoms and improve overall well-being.

Stress affects women’s health by exacerbating pre-existing conditions and impacting reproductive health.
Unmanaged stress can weaken the immune system & increase risks of cardiovascular disease.
BiPolar Disorder
Bipolar disorder, or manic depression, is a chronic mental health condition causing extreme mood swings with episodes of mania and depression. This article highlights the symptoms, causes, and treatments for bipolar disorder.
Types of Bipolar Disorder: The three main types are Bipolar I (at least one manic episode), Bipolar II (one hypomanic and one depressive episode), and Cyclothymic Disorder (milder form with persistent hypomanic and depressive symptoms).
Symptoms and Causes: Symptoms include manic (increased energy, elevated mood) and depressive (sadness, hopelessness) phases. The cause is unknown but involves genetic, environmental, and neurological factors. Family history increases risk, as do certain life events or stressors.
Diagnosis and Treatment: A mental health professional evaluates a person’s mood symptoms and history to diagnose bipolar disorder. Treatment typically combines medication (mood stabilizers, antipsychotics, antidepressants) with talk therapy to manage symptoms effectively.
Living with Bipolar Disorder: Early intervention is crucial for managing bipolar disorder. Real Psychiatric Services in Columbus, Ohio offers personalized care including medication management and psychotherapy to help patients lead healthier lives.
