British Neurology Psychiatry Center in Abu Dhabi provides professional assessment and personalized care for adults and adolescents experiencing trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Our approach focuses on understanding each person’s experiences, symptoms, and individual needs.
Trauma can affect emotional well-being, sleep, concentration, and a person’s sense of safety. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) may develop after experiencing or witnessing a distressing event. Professional assessment can help identify symptoms and guide appropriate treatment and support.
Trauma-related symptoms can vary from person to person and may include:
• Intrusive memories: Unwanted memories, distressing dreams, or flashbacks.
• Avoidance: Avoiding people, places, or situations that trigger distressing memories.
• Changes in mood: Persistent fear, guilt, sadness, or emotional numbness.
• Heightened alertness: Feeling constantly on guard, being easily startled, or having difficulty sleeping.
• Daily-life difficulties: Problems with concentration, relationships, or routine activities.
Experiencing these symptoms does not necessarily mean a person has PTSD. A professional assessment can help clarify the symptoms and identify appropriate support.
At British Neurology Psychiatry Center in Abu Dhabi, assessment focuses on understanding each person’s experiences, symptoms, and individual needs. Treatment may include trauma-focused cognitive behavioural therapy (TF-CBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and other evidence-based approaches when clinically appropriate. Care is individualized to support recovery, emotional well-being, and daily functioning.
Trauma and PTSD care may involve collaboration across relevant specialties, depending on each person’s symptoms and individual needs. Explore our related services to learn more about the assessment and treatment options available at British Neurology Psychiatry Center.
