RESULT: PTSD Positive
Based on your responses, you may be experiencing symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Living with these symptoms could be causing difficulty managing relationships and even the tasks of everyday life.
These results do not mean that you have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, but it may be time to start a conversation with your doctor. Finding the right treatment plan and working with your doctor or healthcare provider can help you feel more like you again.
Post Traumatic Stress symptoms are often accompanied by symptoms of anxiety and depression. We recommend you also take the screens for anxiety and depression.
This screen is not meant to be a diagnosis. Diagnosis and care of mental health conditions can be difficult. Having symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is different than having Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. In addition, symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder can be caused by other mental health conditions, or other health problems. Only a trained professional, such as a doctor or a mental health provider, can make this determination. However, by printing the results and bringing it to your doctor, you can open up the conversation.
Our resources on Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or working with providers may help you take your next steps.
You can also find more resources about supports at: Get Help, Finding Therapy, SAMHSA Treatment Locator, or contact a local MHA affliliate.
