PTSD develops after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic or life-threatening event. Examples include military duty, violence, assault, accidents, disasters, or the loss of a loved one. Symptoms of PTSD include flashbacks, hypersensitivity, avoidance of triggers, and negative mood. Guilt and self-blame are common among patients who believe they should have prevented the trauma. If you experience PTSD symptoms, seek professional help for diagnosis and treatment.
Dr. Asif's diagnosis involves a neuroscience-based assessment of your brain, a revolutionary approach that goes beyond typical psychiatric assessments.
- QEEG: Records brain waves using 19 scalp sensors, mapping underactive areas contributing to PTSD symptoms.
- Biostress test: Measures breathing, heart rate, and QEEG during stress test for treatment decision-making.
- Cognitive testing: Assesses memory, attention, and learning abilities associated with PTSD.
Dr. Asif offers innovative treatments to enhance brain function and improve PTSD symptoms. These include:
- Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS): Uses pulsed magnetic fields to change nerve activity and raise neurotransmitter levels in specific brain areas.
- Neuropsychotherapy: Monitors brain activity with QEEG during therapy sessions to make personalized treatment adjustments.
- Neurofeedback: Utilizes the Brain Master AVATAR™ system to visualize brain patterns and consciously improve targeted brain waves.
- Photobiomodulation: Safely boosts energy in brain cells using infrared light, with QEEG monitoring to adjust the frequency of light in real-time.
- Psychopharmacology: Incorporates genetic testing (Genecept™ Assay) to determine medication metabolism and prescribe the most suitable medication without trial and error.
