This form is a Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Diagnosis tool, however; this tool by no means constitutes a diagnosis of PostTraumatic Stress Disorder. This form acts as a guide only in which you may use to discuss with your psychiatrist or mental health professional.
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Post Traumatic Stress (PTS - Official name is Acute Stress Disorder (ASD)) are two very different things. One is curable, the other is not. You cannot self diagnose either, as there are physical and behavioural factors required for diagnosis outside of the theoretical criteria.
Read each question and choose what is / is not applicable to the way in which you feel upon your worst day, and not how you feel at present. Your first answer is often your correct answer. Don't over think or reread once answered. To achieve optimal results, have a spouse or family member assist you in filling out this form, as they often know more about your reactions and symptom analysis than you the sufferer do.
If you do not meet the criteria at any point, a red warning message will indicate this to you.
