PTSD Test

Answer these twenty questions to see if you may be showing signs of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Instructions: This questionnaire is designed to determine whether you demonstrate symptoms similar to those of adults with Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and is intended to be used as a screening tool; it is not diagnostic. If you answer 'Moderately', 'Quite a bit', or 'Extremely' to a significant number of these items, consult your family doctor and/or a psychologist who is trained and experienced in diagnosing and treating PTSD.

An accurate diagnosis can only be made through clinical evaluation by a trained mental health professional.
