PTSD Test

About this app

It's natural to feel afraid during and after a shocking, scary, or life-threatening event. Most people who experience traumatic events may have difficulty adjusting at first but eventually get back to their normal routines. If you continue to feel distressed long after the traumatic event has occurred, you may have PTSD.

This app is designed to evaluate your symptoms of PTSD with a scientifically-supported 20-question screening test. It uses the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5), a screening questionnaire for PTSD that is often used in healthcare and research settings. The PCL-5 is also helpful for monitoring your PTSD-related symptoms during and after treatment.

PTSD Test contains four tools:
- Start Test: take the PCL-5 to assess your PTSD symptoms
- History: see a history of your test scores to monitor your symptoms over time
- Information: learn about PTSD and discover additional resources that can help you on your path to recovery
- Reminder: set up notifications to re-take the test at your convenience

Disclaimer: The PCL-5 is NOT a diagnostic test. A diagnosis can only be provided by a qualified healthcare professional. Please consult a physician or mental health professional if you are concerned about PTSD.

Ratings and reviews

2019: All it did was ask about 10 questions & tell me I had a score of 45. It didn't explain the score. It asked me if I wanted counseling. Then prompted me asking what kind of counseling and then wanted my personal info to sell me therapy. 2024: EDIT: Re-took test. 20 questions that you can easily find online, takes a couple of minutes to complete and gives you a score saying whether you likely do or don't have PTSD.

This test is based on the idea of results after one event... Having survived serval attempts to kill me and more violence than I can measure while being fully self reliant, makes many of f these questions irrelevant! Ex: do you panik easily ? No, if i did , I would be dead countless times! I will not start freaking out BECAUSE I know that will get me killed! Who ever made this test has no experience with real trauma or repeated trauma, so why would their tests be in any way reliable?

pretty much No real useful information... I was hoping to find something helpful other than "you meet the criteria for PTSD" yeah, I already knew that... this is just another ad to get you to download more apps.
