Thousands of New Yorkers are still struggling from symptoms of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder related to the 9/11 terrorist attacks. People with PTSD routinely struggle with intense anxiety and fear, vivid memories and nightmares, irritability with others, avoidance of places related to 9/11, poor concentration, numbness and depression, and becoming increasingly isolated. They often have great difficulty functioning from day to day, and over time can feel increasingly alone.
The good news is that PTSD is a treatable problem, and we have a nationally recognized program that focuses on helping people with PTSD through treatment and treatment research. The goal of all our treatment research is to improve the lives of people with these and similar problems by developing new and better treatments. All treatment is provided at no cost to our clients. If you or someone you know might need help with 9/11-related problems like these, please call us for more information on our research and treatment program.
