PTSD TEST
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. Symptoms may include unwanted memories, nightmares, avoidance of reminders, changes in mood, and feeling constantly on edge.
Sometimes, people experience events that are especially frightening, distressing, or traumatic. Examples include:
- a serious accident or fire
- a physical or sexual assault or abuse
- an earthquake or flood
- a war
- seeing someone be killed or seriously injured
- having a loved one die through homicide or suicide
Have you ever experienced an event like this? If so, the PTSD screening test below can help you reflect on symptoms you may be experiencing.
If not, this test may not be relevant to you.
Did you know...
According to the National Center for PTSD, about 6 of every 100 people will have PTSD at some point in their lives.
Some people experience improvements in their symptoms within a few months, while others may continue experiencing symptoms for years.
Please note: This screening test is intended to help you better understand symptoms you may be experiencing. It is not a diagnostic tool and cannot determine whether you have PTSD. Your results may provide a starting point for a conversation with a qualified mental health professional.
What are the treatment options for PTSD?
If you’re experiencing symptoms of PTSD, reaching out to a mental health professional can be an important step toward getting support. This can also be helpful following a traumatic event, particularly if distressing symptoms persist or interfere with daily life.
Evidence-based treatments, including trauma-focused psychotherapy and, in some cases, medication, can help reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.
