PTSD

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a disorder that might occur after a traumatic event. In the last decade, progress in research on the mental and biological foundations of PTSD has led scientists to focus on better understanding the underlying causes of why people experience a range of reactions to trauma.

At the Mulva Clinic for the Neurosciences, research on PTSD ranges from understanding and assessing the brain function with the latest technology to performing novel therapies using treatment modalities of exposure therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies, as well as psychedelic research. Our active research team has several ongoing clinical trials that you may be eligible to participate in.
