When it's Time to Ask for Help

The last couple of years in SWLA have been filled with loss, anxiety, fear, and uncertainty. We have seen our community come together like never before, but we have also seen how trying this can be on our mental health. Working through emotions or feelings after a traumatic event (or events) can be difficult. You may even gradually develop symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD. While some similar symptoms may heal on their own after a period of time, those who feel stuck may not be able to move past the trauma. It may be time to seek help. Dr. David Murdock, Memorial Medical Group’s newest board-certified psychiatrist, addresses trauma-related symptoms and how to take the next steps to healing. Dr. Murdock is live and on call for you.
