Information

About us

StickyJ Medical ID and sister company Thoughtful Impressions have been family owned and operated for more than 21 years. The company is led by CEO Lori Torman, who has an eye for great quality and classic styles. In the early days of medical id bracelets (we're talking 1960's), medical alert bracelets were pretty boring -- basically engraved metal tags with curb link chains. The same styles were offered for children, just smaller (no wonder kids didn't want to wear them). And, by the end of the 20th century things hadn't improved that much. Lori was among the first to recognize that medical id's could be fashion conscious, and in 2005 launched designs in leather as well as stainless, and introduced polyester kids medical id bracelets that had cute designs. The sport strap line of child medical id's she introduced nearly 20 years ago is still the most popular line of children's medical jewelry on the market today. And, we now produce more than 100 different styles of medical alert bracelets and necklaces for men and women. Our engraved bracelets are individually custom engraved by our team of master engravers, ship within three (M-F) business days from the date you order, and all products come with a 90 warranty against manufacturing defects. Please come and shop with us today. It will be our pleasure to serve you.

Should I wear a Medical ID for PTSD?

Should I wear a Medical ID for PTSD?

Posted by Lori Torman on 7th Jan 2026

Wearing a medical ID for PTSD is a personal choice, but it is highly recommended by medical experts and emergency responders to ensure safety during a crisis.

Why Wear a Medical ID for PTSD?

  • Emergency Communication: In a severe flashback, panic attack, or dissociative state, you may become non-verbal or unable to explain your condition. A bracelet speaks for you.
  • Behavioral Clarification: Symptoms like hypervigilance or extreme irritability can be misinterpreted by first responders or law enforcement. An ID clarifies that your behavior is a medical symptom.
  • Specific Care Needs: It can include instructions to avoid certain triggers, such as "DO NOT TOUCH" or "GIVE SPACE," which can prevent a situation from escalating.
  • Medication Safety: If you take psychiatric medications, an ID prevents dangerous drug interactions if you are unconscious and need emergency treatment.
  • Peace of Mind: Many individuals report feeling more confident traveling or being in public alone knowing they have a safety net. 

What to Engrave

Standard medical IDs typically include:

  • Diagnosis: "PTSD" or "Complex PTSD (C-PTSD)".
  • Key Symptoms: Brief mentions like "Panic Attacks," "Dissociation," or "Flashbacks".
  • Special Instructions: Phrases such as "May become non-verbal" or "Avoid physical contact".
  • Emergency Contacts: At least one phone number for an "In Case of Emergency" (ICE) contact.
  • Medications: Any vital medications or allergies. 

Discreet Options
