Post traumatic stress disorders refer to a prolonged anxiety response to an event or series of horrible events such as combat or military exposure, sexual or physical abuse, acts of terrorism, serious accidents, or major natural disasters, in which your life or others' lives are in danger. Post traumatic stress disorder can be very difficult to diagnose and treat and some patients live for many years with disabling symptoms such as sleep problems, trouble concentrating, irritability, anger, blackouts, poor memory, increased tendency and reaction to being startled, and hyper vigilance to threat. If you or a loved one suffer from a post traumatic stress disorder and have been denied your Social Security Disability benefits, don't give up. Sackett and Associates can help. We will work with your clinicians and therapists to assemble the medical evidence required to win your benefits.
