It’s normal for people to experience worry, guilt, or feel uneasy after a car accident, but if these feelings continue beyond a few days and they are left unchecked, it could develop into post-traumatic stress disorder.
When it’s hard to find the words to share how we’re feeling or even recognize if anxiousness is something to worry about, we encourage you to talk to a professional mental health provider.
Complete Care Centers offers mental health counseling services for adults and children (ages 5 and up) who need professional support managing anxiety and depression symptoms after a car accident. At Complete Care Centers, you’ll find a safe space to explore and confront your trauma.
Our mental health counselors diagnose and address anxiety and depression through a variety of treatments, including but not limited to:
After an accident, it’s normal to see increased stress – anxiety, depression, fearfulness, trouble sleeping and nightmares and fixating on the event of the crash. It’s how you cope with these feelings that’s important because motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of post-traumatic stress disorder.
Avoidance of driving or traveling near the accident site is also a common way of dealing with the emotions after a car accident. If these emotions are stopping you from taking part in life as you normally would, you should speak to a professional mental health counselor so that you can process your feelings.
Our mental health counseling is adapted to each patient’s specific needs and can help you process your emotions related to the accident and further give you skills you can apply in other life situations.
Complete Care is a multi-specialty practice focused on helping patients with mental health concerns as well as physical injuries from car accidents.
