PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) Test

Online Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Test

As the name suggests, this psychological disorder develops after experiencing a traumatic event. The trauma may be physical or emotional, sometimes both. If you suspect that you or a loved one may have PTSD, we strongly recommend that you immediately contact a mental health professional. This will allow for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment options.

About this test

This online PTSD questionnaire complies with the guidelines and criteria outlined in the Fifth Edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) by the American Psychiatric Association. It is intended to be a brief, initial self-assessment.

This tool is only suitable for people aged 16 years and older.

PTSD Quiz for Caregivers and Loved Ones

If you are closely involved with someone you think may be suffering from PTSD - a child, spouse, partner, or other significant person in your life - you can take this quiz on their behalf. Try to give answers that most closely reflect how you think their reaction is.

To get an initial assessment of the likelihood of symptoms consistent with PTSD, answer the questions below. Your answers will be treated confidentially and anonymously.

Disclaimer:
This test is a tool for self-discovery and primary screening, not a medical opinion. The test results do not constitute a diagnosis.

Instructions: Below is a list of problems and complaints that people sometimes have in response to stressful life experiences. Please read each problem carefully, and indicate how much you`ve been bothered by that problem in the past month.

Over the past month, how much have you been bothered by:

Repeated, disturbing, and unwanted memories of the stressful experience?
Repeated, disturbing dreams of the stressful experience?
Suddenly feeling or acting as if the stressful experience were actually happening again (as if you were actually back there reliving it)?
Feeling very upset when something reminded you of a stressful experience?
Having strong physical reactions when something reminded you of the stressful experience (for example, heart pounding, trouble breathing, sweating)?
Avoiding memories, thoughts, or feelings related to the stressful experience?
Avoiding external reminders of the stressful experience (for example, people, places, conversations, activities, objects, or situations)?
Trouble remembering important parts of the stressful experience?
Having strong negative beliefs about yourself, other people, or the world (for example, having thoughts such as: I am bad, there is something seriously wrong with me, no one can be trusted, the world is completely dangerous)?
Blaming yourself or someone else for the stressful experience or what happened after it?

What is a "flashback" and how does it differ from a regular memory?

A memory is when you think about the past. A flashback is when you re-experience it. In that moment, the brain may partially disconnect from reality, making you feel the same smells, sounds, or physical pain as during the traumatic event.

Can PTSD manifest years after the event?

Yes, this is known as delayed-onset PTSD. Symptoms can remain dormant for years and be triggered by new severe stress, an accidental reminder (trigger),or significant life changes.

How can I tell if it's PTSD or just severe stress?

Normal stress usually fades after a few weeks. If, a month after the event, you are still avoiding reminders, suffering from nightmares or flashbacks, and feeling constant emotional tension, it is a reason to seek professional screening.
