Do I have PTSD?

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is complex and a diagnosis requires a thorough evaluation from a mental health professional, like a psychiatrist.
Are your symptoms making it hard to go about your daily life? A psychiatrist can help.

Symptoms of PTSD

Symptoms can vary but often include:

  • Recurrent, unwanted distressing memories of the traumatic event
  • Reliving the traumatic event as if it were happening again (flashbacks)
  • Upsetting dreams or nightmares about the traumatic event
  • Severe emotional distress or physical reactions to something that reminds you of the traumatic event
  • Feeling depressed or hopeless
  • Feeling on edge or anxious
  • Avoiding thinking about the traumatic event
  • Avoiding places, activities, or people that remind you of the traumatic event

PTSD FAQs

Does Talkiatry take my insurance?

We're in network with major insurers, including:

  • Aetna
  • Blue Cross Blue Shield
  • Cigna
  • Humana
  • Medicare
  • Oscar
  • United Healthcare
  • Optum
  • ComPsych

Even if your insurer isn't on the list, we might still accept it. Use our insurance eligibility checker to see if we take your plan.

Can I get an estimate of my visit cost?

The best way to get a detailed estimate of your cost is to contact your insurance company directly, since your cost will depend on the details of your coverage.

For some, it’s just a copay. If you have an unmet deductible, it could be more.

Call the number on your insurance card and ask about your plan’s coverage for outpatient psychiatric services.

Can PTSD be treated virtually?

Absolutely. In most cases, virtual treatment for anxiety is as effective as in-person care.

Our goal is to help you find the best treatment option for your needs and there may be some cases where virtual care isn't the right fit. If this is the case, your psychiatrist will be able to recommend other treatment options within your first visit.

Will I see a psychiatrist at every appointment?

Yes. You'll see a psychiatrist for all appointments, from your first visit to any follow-ups. Your psychiatrist will be with you every step of the way.

Does Talkiatry have real doctors?

Yes! Our team is made up of over 300 psychiatrists who represent a broad range of backgrounds and specialities. Psychiatrists are medical doctors that specialize in diagnosing, and treating mental health conditions with medication management and supportive therapy.

Will I need medication?

Depending on your needs, medication may be a part of your treatment plan paired with supportive therapy from your doctor. You and your psychiatrist will work together to decide the best treatment for you.

Is medication for PTSD safe?

Talkiatry psychiatrists only prescribe FDA-approved medication. Your psychiatrist will help you navigate your options for medications and answer any questions you have about the benefits and side effects of each medication.

I don't know if I need medication

That's okay! In the first visit, your psychiatrist will ask you questions about your personal history, medical history, and symptoms to determine the best treatment for your needs. For people diagnosed with PTSD, treatment typically includes medication management and supportive therapy.

How does Talkiatry handle privacy?

We take our responsibility to safeguard our patients' privacy incredibly seriously. This commitment applies throughout each patient's journey at Talkiatry and after they leave our practice.
