4. What can I do to help myself?
- Talk to your doctor about the the experience that upset you.
Tell you doctor if you have scary memories, if you feel sad, if you have trouble sleeping, or if you are angry all the time. Tell your doctor if these problems keep you from doing everyday things and living your life. You may want to show your doctor this booklet. It can help explain how you feel. Ask your doctor for a checkup to make sure you don’t have some other illness. - Ask your doctor if he or she has helped people with PTSD.
Special training helps doctors treat people with PTSD. If your doctor doesn’t have special training, ask for the name of a doctor or counselor who does. - Get more information.

You can feel better.
