“Hi, my name is Teresa, I am 26 years old and live in Jerusalem. A few years ago, I was diagnosed with complex post-traumatic stress disorder. My situation was not simple at all. In an attempt to solve my difficulty I was hospitalized in a psychiatric hospital several times and these hospitalizations did not help and my condition even worsened once. I was in a really, really difficult situation and no one could help me. Then they referred me to a clinic in Herzog over two years ago and it was one of the biggest miracles of my life. Obviously, it’s not a miracle, but the hard work of the caring professionals at the Clinic who have built a system that is exactly adapted to the needs of young adults like me.”
