Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Self-Assessment Tool

Welcome to the Hera Therapy PTSD Self-Assessment Quiz

Your courage in taking this step toward healing is truly remarkable. This gentle post traumatic stress disorder assessment tool is here to lovingly support you in understanding how you may be affected by PTSD symptoms based on your experiences in the past month.

Instructions: 

Below you’ll find a compassionate list of feelings that people sometimes experience after going through difficult times. With your heart in mind, please read each statement gently and select how much you’ve been affected by that experience in the past month using our caring post traumatic stress disorder screening tool.

Each item in this supportive PTSD self-screen is rated on a 5-point scale from 0 (Not at all) to 4 (Extremely). Your total score from these trusted PTSD assessment instruments will help illuminate the possible presence of PTSD symptoms.

Important: This checklist is not a diagnosis—it’s a gentle companion on your healing journey. For professional guidance and the care you deserve, please reach out to our qualified mental health professional. You are worthy of support and healing.
