You may not realize it, but you probably know someone with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or have it yourself. PTSD is widely misunderstood yet crushing condition that afflicts millions of Americans. And there’s actually a lot we can do to prevent it, according to our guest, Dr. Shaili Jain.
Dr. Jain is a psychiatrist and PTSD specialist at one of America's top VA hospitals, a trauma scientist, and author of The Unspeakable Mind, which stands as the definitive guide to PTSD and offers lasting hope to sufferers, their loved ones, and health care providers everywhere.
Why should you care about this now? Because we are in the middle of a crisis, and many people will experience trauma—whether it be related to health, finances, death, isolation, or something else. But in our conversation, Dr. Jain offers so much clarity around what PTSD actually is, how it manifests in our lives, what we can be doing right now while in quarantine to prevent it, and the most important thing for humanity of all…hope.
