Free test · PCL-5
Think of the most stressful experience you have been through: the test shows how much it has bothered you over the past month. It is not a diagnosis, only a prompt to decide whether to talk to a professional.
Check the box to start.
The PCL-5 (PTSD Checklist for DSM-5) comes from the US National Center for PTSD. Its 20 questions follow the DSM-5 symptoms of PTSD: unwanted memories and nightmares, avoidance, negative thoughts and feelings, and being on edge. Each answer scores 0 to 4 points, for a total of 0 to 80.
A checklist cannot diagnose PTSD. A professional makes a diagnosis after a conversation about what happened and how you are doing now.
Your score is calculated right in your browser. Your answers reach our server only if you ask for your result by email: we write the email and do not keep them.
