When you are involved in an automobile accident resulting in serious personal injury, the events surrounding the accident are traumatic and can leave you recovering from both physical and emotional injuries.  A serious Nassau County auto accident can cause significant emotional damage, and many victims struggle to recover emotionally long after their bones have healed.

The difficulty in moving on is a result of the trauma.  You may find your mind wandering back to the fact that one moment you were engaged in normal life activities, and the next you were caught in a terrifying collision beyond your control.  The accident may have left you with physical disabilities that prevent you from enjoying some of your favorite activities, leading to depression and anxiety.

Vivid and painful memories of the accident may leave you reluctant to get behind the wheel of a car – or even to ride as a passenger. Depending upon your injuries, you may be required to follow an extensive treatment plan, which can be both physically and mentally exhausting. If you lost a loved one in the accident, you have suffered an additional injury that cannot be righted.

Emotional stressors such as these can have very serious repercussions.  Diagnosis for victims of Nassau County car accidents could include:

• Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome, a very real and debilitating condition that often requires extensive treatment with therapy or medication
• Depression that does not go away after a period of time, and actually worsens
• Severe anxiety that affects multiple aspects of your daily life.
