PTSD Self-Assessment – Evidence-Based PTSD Quiz

PTSD Self-Assessment

Do You Have PTSD? Take This Evidence-Based Self-Assessment

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a serious mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. It affects millions of people worldwide and can lead to distressing symptoms such as flashbacks, anxiety, emotional numbness, nightmares, and hypervigilance.

If you’ve been through a traumatic experience, you may wonder whether the emotional and psychological symptoms you’re facing are signs of PTSD. This evidence-based PTSD self-assessment uses the Primary Care PTSD Screen for DSM-5 (PC-PTSD-5) to help you evaluate whether you may be experiencing PTSD symptoms.

How This PTSD Quiz Works:

Step 1: Answer a quick screening question to determine eligibility for PTSD assessment.
Step 2: If eligible, complete the five-question PTSD assessment.
Step 3: Receive an instant PTSD risk score and personalized feedback.
Step 4: Learn about trauma-informed treatment options to help you heal.

Important: This self-assessment is not a diagnostic tool. It is intended for informational purposes only. If you suspect you have PTSD, we strongly recommend seeking professional help.
