PTSD Screening Tool

The PTSD Screening Tool helps identify symptoms related to traumatic experiences, such as intrusive thoughts, avoidance, heightened alertness, and emotional distress. It supports early recognition of trauma-related symptoms and encourages appropriate support or referral when needed. The tool is designed to be sensitive and non-diagnostic.

This short questionnaire helps screen for symptoms related to post-traumatic stress.

Answer each question based on your experiences in the past month.

1. Have you had nightmares about a traumatic experience or unwanted thoughts about it?

2. Have you tried hard to avoid thinking about it or avoided reminders?

3. Have you been constantly on guard, watchful, or easily startled?

4. Have you felt numb or detached from people or surroundings?

5. Have you felt guilty or blamed yourself or others for the experience?
