During the Fourth of July weekend, the fireworks can be a trigger for people who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The Michael E. Debakey VA Medical Center says less than 50% of veterans with PTSD are actually getting help for it, so they recommend downloading some smartphone apps to help identify triggers and helpful resources.PTSD Coach“One of the things I love about this app is that you can remain anonymous,” said Timothy Stroud, United States Army Combat Medic Specialist.
“Some folks use it before to understand what therapy’s going to be like, some people use it during the therapy, and others like to use it after the therapy has finished,” Dr. Lindsay said. Although she’s not convinced apps can be used on their own, Dr. Lindsay said it’s best to couple the apps with therapy sessions, which can also be done through your phone even with family or partners.Difficulty falling and staying asleepIt’s important to remember treatment for PTSD is typically a few months, not forever. Dr. Lindsey said after therapy is over then patients may choose to use the apps to reinforce progress and coping skills.
