PTSD stands for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. It was first observed in war veterans a century ago, when it was called "shell-shocked". With further advances in mental health research and treatment, the understanding of trauma has been expanded from war zones to also include people who have had serious experiences -- sexual or family-of-origin abuse, catastrophes like weather phenomena or bombings, even vehicle crashes and home invasions/kidnappings.
Most therapists study the effects and treatment strategies for PTSD in school, and there are many therapists who specialize in this sort of treatment. Frequent sufferers include 'first responders' like police, fire, EMT staff; and soldiers and civilians caught in war zones.
Ibogaine is becoming a preferred (and very effective) treatment for PTSD, and Mexico-based clinics who specialize in Ibogaine have seen an uptick in patients coming specifically for PTSD. Ibogaine is a plant-based medicine that resets dopamine receptors which are often damaged by anxiety, depression, PTSD, and addiction; it's also showing remarkable promise for people with Parkinson's and ADHD.
The top program in Mexico is New Path Specialized Clinic, and they can be found at NewPathIbogaine dot com
