PCL-5 post-traumatic stress checklist

This one is different from the others. It asks you to keep your worst experience in mind and answer twenty questions about it.

Reading the questions can be upsetting by itself, even if you do not finish them.
It cannot tell you whether you have PTSD. The result is a total and where it falls against one published cut-off, nothing more.
The Veterans Affairs National Center for PTSD, who wrote it, says interpretation should be made by a clinician.
Nothing you answer is stored, sent anywhere or logged, here or on any other self-check.

If you are in crisis, this is the wrong page A questionnaire helps nobody who is in danger right now. Your local emergency number is faster, and crisis lines by country are one click away.

I understand — start the questions Back to the self-checks
