OVERVIEW
After a frightening event, it is normal to feel shaken. It should not last forever.
Accidents, assault, abuse, the sudden loss of someone close, disasters and medical emergencies can overwhelm the mind. For most people, the shock eases over a few weeks. For some, the memories keep coming back, sleep is broken, and the body stays on high alert for months or years.
This is not weakness and it is not your fault. It is how the brain reacts to extreme stress. PTSD treatment in Mumbai at our clinic helps the brain process what happened, so that you can feel safe again.
DID YOU KNOW?
Trauma does not only show up as memories. It can appear as unexplained pain, fainting spells, loss of speech or movement, or feeling disconnected from yourself, even when medical tests are normal. You can read more about PTSD from the National Institute of Mental Health.

CONDITIONS WE TREAT
Trauma-related conditions we treat
Our PTSD treatment in Mumbai covers all of the conditions below. You will never be pushed to talk about details before you are ready.
01 · Long-lasting trauma stress
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
What it is
PTSD develops after a frightening or life-threatening event and lasts for more than a month. The brain keeps reacting as if the danger is still present.
Signs to look for
Flashbacks, nightmares, avoidance, feeling constantly alert, irritability, guilt and emotional numbness.
How it is treated
Trauma-focused therapy helps the mind process the memory safely. Medicines help with sleep, anxiety and low mood. PTSD treatment in Mumbai at our clinic moves at your pace.
Acute Stress Disorder
What it is
Acute stress disorder is a strong reaction in the first days to four weeks after a traumatic event. Early help can prevent it from turning into PTSD.
Signs to look for
Shock, feeling dazed or unreal, repeated memories, poor sleep, panic and difficulty doing normal tasks.
How it is treated
Calm support, sleep, practical help and short-term therapy. Medicines are used only when needed, and follow-up checks that recovery is on track.
02 · In the first weeks
03 · Stress felt in the body
Conversion Disorder
What it is
In conversion disorder, also called functional neurological disorder, emotional stress shows up as real physical symptoms, such as weakness, fits or loss of speech, with no damage found on tests. The symptoms are not imagined or put on.
Signs to look for
Sudden weakness, shaking or fits, fainting, difficulty walking, or loss of voice, often after stress, conflict or trauma.
How it is treated
A clear explanation of the condition, therapy to address the stress behind it, physiotherapy where needed, and close work with your neurologist or physician.
Dissociative Disorders
What it is
Dissociation is the mind’s way of switching off from overwhelming stress. In dissociative disorders, this happens often and affects memory, identity or the sense of being real.
Signs to look for
Memory gaps, feeling detached from your body or surroundings, losing time, or behaving very differently at different times.
How it is treated
Building safety and grounding skills first, then gentle trauma-focused therapy over time. Medicines can help with anxiety, sleep and mood.
04 · Feeling disconnected
