Mental health disorders, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), are anything but simple. They may take years to develop or progress, so it’s unrealistic to expect them to go away with one therapy session or a “quick fix.”
Luckily, there are many treatment options for PTSD in veterans, according to Amanda M. Spray, PhD, Psychologist at NYU Langone Health, and Collin Reiff, MD, Psychiatrist at NYU Langone Health.
Amanda M. Spray, PhD, is a psychologist at NYU Langone Health in New York City and a clinical associate professor at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine.
Collin Reiff, MD, is an addiction psychiatrist at NYU Langone Health and a clinical assistant professor at NYU Grossman School of Medicine.
