This equates to over two hundred and twenty-three million people. Trauma can come from:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">War or violence<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Physical, sexual, or emotional abuse<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Accidents or natural disasters<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Grief<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Child abuse or neglect<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Witnessing violence<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can Trauma Cause Mental Illness?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Does trauma cause mental illness? Yes. Trauma and mental health disorders are deeply connected. People who experience trauma are likely to develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a mental health disorder, as well as depression, anxiety, or substance abuse disorder.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Treat Trauma-Based Mental Health Disorders<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many ways to treat trauma-based mental health disorders.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Traditional Therapy<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Traditional therapy is integral to any trauma and mental health treatment program. You can expect to participate in individual and group therapy sessions involving things like:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exposure therapy<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Psychotherapy<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cognitive behavioral therapy<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Traditional psychotherapy is the cornerstone of any mental health treatment. You will find individual and group therapy sessions led by qualified psychiatrists on a regular basis during your treatment plan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cognitive behavioral therapy is one of the best treatments for things like depression or anxiety. If you are struggling with trauma-related depression or anxiety, cognitive behavioral therapy can help you identify negative thought patterns that have led to harmful behaviors and replace them with healthier ones.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing is the most effective trauma-based PTSD treatment. If you are struggling with PTSD, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy can help you change how your brain stores traumatic memories without having to sit through multiple therapy sessions and discuss the traumatic events in detail.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What you go through will look different based on your situation. Talking to staff members at Water Gap Wellness Center can help you undergo an assessment and recommendation for the most appropriate course of treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Holistic Therapy<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Holistic treatments make great compliments to trauma-based mental health treatment. This looks different for everyone but can include the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Animal-assisted therapy<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mindfulness<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yoga<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meditation<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wilderness therapy<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Music therapy<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Art therapy<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each facility differs in terms of which holistic therapies they offer but each of these is designed to teach you coping strategies like connecting with others who may have experienced trauma, exercising, relaxing, diverting yourself in healthy ways with music or art, and maintaining a healthy diet and sleep cycle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Water Gap Wellness Center is a Trauma and Mental Health Treatment Center in the Tri-State Area<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can trauma cause mental illness?
