TREATMENT FOR PTSD

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a debilitating condition that impacts 44.7 million people worldwide. The disorder is often difficult to live with and equally difficult to treat. Anxiety medications are the first round of defense in Western Culture for those suffering from PTSD, but ibogaine treatment is gaining popularity as a means of defense and safe, natural recovery.

SYMPTOMS OF PTSD

PTSD is an extreme form of anxiety that is often the result of trauma that causes serious distress. The trauma may be the result of witnessing a crime, being abused, or experiencing some other situation that induced extreme fear and a feeling of helplessness. PTSD is characterized by the following symptoms:

  • Memories that interrupt sleep or appear during the day as a flashback. The memory will often make the individual feel as if he or she is right back in the traumatic situation that originally caused him or her pain or suffering.
  • Avoiding situations, places or activities that will bring back memories of the traumatic event.
  • Irrational or angry outbursts.
  • Mood swings such as feelings of hopelessness, numbness or suicidal thoughts.
  • Lack of desire to remain involved or active in relationships with family or friends.
  • Feeling as if the traumatic event is recurring.

WHO EXPERIENCES PTSD?

PTSD develops in the mind of an individual that has experienced a shocking event such as witnessing the death of a loved one, experiencing a near death event, or being responsible for the death of someone. Although death is not always a factor in the diagnosis of PTSD, it is a common factor for many.

PTSD is often the result for someone who:

  • Is abused as a child and feels helpless.
  • Suffers a sexual assault such as rape or molestation.
  • Is in a car accident that is deadly or nearly deadly.
  • Is a veteran of active duty war.
  • Witnesses the death of someone, especially a loved one.
  • Is responsible for the death of someone—either by accident or on purpose.

It is estimated that about 9% of those living in the US will experience PTSD at some point in their lifetime. More common in women than men, PTSD symptoms are often treated with antidepressants or anxiety medications, both of which have a strong ability to cause long-term addiction.

But what if treatment did not have to include an addictive drug?

Persistent thoughts, feelings and emotions associated with PTSD can make everyday life feel completely debilitating. There are external reminders in places, smells, activities, or people that may be related to the trauma experienced. This makes avoiding an anxiety outbreak difficult or nearly impossible for the individual suffering from PTSD.

The client is encouraged to actively participate in a support group following his or her ibogaine treatment to help continue the healing process. PTSD is the result of deep rooted traumatic life experiences—and while an alkaloid or substance such as ibogaine can equate to years of therapy for some, additional support is usually helpful.

There are many ways a person can get additional support following treatment. We recommend you find a PTSD support group, a grief support group, or a similar group of fellowship with others that have witnessed or experienced similar situations. You could also continue counseling or therapy if you are interested in doing so—it certainly won’t harm the recovery process.
