PTSD Self-Test
The reactions listed below sometimes arise after a traumatic event. Symptoms of PTSD can only manifest if you have experienced trauma of actual or threatened death; suffered or witnessed serious injury or sexual assault. This questionnaire relates to your current psychological complaints as a result of a traumatic event you experienced. The self-test is not a substitute for a psychologist’s diagnosis. However, it can be referred to as an indication that you may have PTSD and whether you can sign up for our PTSD treatment.
