Physical injuries are the most apparent after a car wreck. However, did you know that it is possible to sustain psychological and mental injuries after a car wreck, as well? Therapy is a treatment option that is available to victims that find it difficult to process the trauma that comes along with a car wreck, sustaining injuries, attending medical appointments, missing time from work, and being unable to do things that were once routine tasks.
A therapist can be a great resource if you are unable to overcome what you are going through. According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, it is normal that during the healing process, you may begin to notice signs of increased stress such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, anguish, fearfulness, issues with sleep, reoccurring nightmares about the crash, and more. These emotions, if not addressed properly, can have long-term effects that may never go away.
Discussing your emotions with the following people is encouraged: family members, friends, a physician, a counselor/therapist, and/or a pastor. Oftentimes, your family will notice your behavior change before you will. It is important to seek immediate and appropriate care. You do not want to rush and settle your case if you are dealing with trauma. The at-fault party should be held responsible for both your physical and mental injuries.
