Better Lives with Care.Wallet: Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in the US
An estimated 3.6 percent of U.S. adults have Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), according to the National Institute of Mental Health. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a type of anxiety disorder, can result from a deeply threatening event, namely violent personal assaults, disasters, accidents, or sustained abuse. PTSD may cause persistent, frightening thoughts and memories, sleep problems, and a feeling of detachment.
People with PTSD can have insomnia, flashbacks, low self-esteem, and a lot of painful or unpleasant emotions. PTSD treatment can involve many stages and requires patience as it can take a long time before symptoms improve. Some patients may have to completely change their lives in order to facilitate recovery.
Care.Wallet will change a patient’s life by helping PTSD management. With Care.Wallet people will be able to choose their provider, schedule appointments, and even book a ride to get to their appointment, all while using their smartphone. With the How Are You Feeling Today (HAYFT) Care.Card, doctors, family members, and others can track a patient’s progress, and make recommendations accordingly.
