What is PTSD?

When you experience or witness a deeply traumatic event, your brain’s alarm system turns on to keep you safe. In PTSD, that alarm system gets stuck in the “on” position long after the danger has passed. It fundamentally alters how your brain processes memory and perceives threats.

PTSD can make the present moment feel terrifyingly unsafe. Healing requires more than just talking about the past; it requires retraining the brain and nervous system to recognize that you are safe in the present.

Common Signs of PTSD

PTSD symptoms can appear immediately after an event or surface years later. You may be struggling with PTSD if you frequently experience:

  • Intrusive memories, flashbacks, or severe nightmares
  • Going out of your way to avoid reminders of the trauma
  • Being easily startled or living in a state of hypervigilance
  • Emotional numbness or feeling detached from loved ones
  • Overwhelming guilt, shame, or negative thoughts about yourself
  • Unpredictable outbursts of anger or aggressive behavior

I thank Jesus Christ for the whole KMHM team!! I was in a very dark and hopeless place when I began the infusions, and after many years of suffering with depression and anxiety, the medical community was at a loss regarding my case, until I was finally directed to KMHM!! I'm LITERALLY on ONE-FOURTH of the dosage of antidepressants I was taking prior to the infusions and I feel a thousand times better! I am finally able to work and I'm starting college again, and that wouldn't have been possible without the knowledge, care and work of the whole KMHM team!! These infusions have definitely been life changing, not only for me, but also for my family who have suffered with me.

Before beginning Ketamine infusions for the first time, I was experiencing chronic depression and anxiety for the last 8 years. I had difficulties going to work, getting out of bed, leaving the house, showering, not taking care of myself, not exercising, pushing away everyone who loved me, partying, and I knew this wasn’t the real me. I simply couldn’t find a way out. Then, I came across ketamine infusion therapy, and my life would never be the same again. After the initial six infusions over two weeks I was showing many signs of improvement. Several weeks later things kept improving. Having maintenance infusions every so often since beginning, I can honestly say I genuinely feel like myself again and feel like I am actually LIVING my life rather than just waiting to die. After so many years of frustration and hopelessness, the feeling of the dark cloud over my head going away has been life-changing.

I was hopeless and out of options.  My medications were no longer working and my depression was worsening and leading to suicidal thoughts to say the least.  After the 1st 6 treatments of Ketamine, I was clearly on the road to recovery.  I felt alive again and full of hope.  I could never be so thankful to have this as a treatment option.  Thank you so much to the wonderful staff at Kansas Mental Health Medicine.
