Online PTSD Symptom Checker

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition triggered by experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. Symptoms include intrusive memories, nightmares, avoidance of trauma reminders, negative thoughts, hypervigilance, and difficulty sleeping. This screening tool uses the PCL-5 assessment to help identify potential PTSD symptoms, but only a qualified mental health professional can provide an official diagnosis through comprehensive clinical evaluation.

This tool is based on the PCL-5 (PTSD Checklist for DSM-5), a clinically validated screening instrument widely used by mental health professionals. While it provides a scientifically-backed preliminary assessment of PTSD symptoms, it is not a diagnostic tool. The results indicate whether your symptoms warrant further professional evaluation. For an accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment plan, consultation with a licensed mental health provider like those at Integrative Psychiatry of America is essential.

Yes, your privacy is our top priority. This PTSD symptom checker is completely confidential and anonymous. Your responses are processed locally in your browser and are not stored, transmitted, or shared with anyone. No personal information, email addresses, or identifying data is collected during the assessment. Your results are private and only visible to you.
