Stress Disorder Treatment Near Me
Stress disorder is characterized by acute stress reactions that may occur in the initial month after a person is exposed to a traumatic event. The disorder includes symptoms of intrusion, dissociation, negative mood, avoidance, and arousal. Some patients who experience ASD go on to experience posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which is diagnosed only after four weeks following exposure to trauma.
We suggest trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) as first-line treatment of patients with acute stress disorder (ASD) rather than other psychotherapies or medication.
