What the quiz is about "PTSD Symptom Checklist (PCL-5)":

What is the PCL-5 assessment?

The PCL-5 (PTSD Checklist for DSM-5) is a widely used self-report scale for measuring PTSD symptoms. It helps you understand how often you’ve been bothered by symptoms related to a traumatic experience you’ve been through.

Can the PCL-5 diagnose PTSD?

No — this assessment isn’t a diagnosis. It’s designed to flag symptoms that might point to PTSD, but an actual diagnosis needs to come from a licensed mental health professional like a psychologist or psychiatrist.

What symptoms does the PCL-5 look at?

The assessment covers the core symptoms of PTSD: intrusive memories, flashbacks, nightmares, avoiding reminders of the trauma, heightened anxiety, trouble sleeping, difficulty concentrating, and emotional struggles.

What time period should I think about when answering?

Focus on the past month — think about how often each symptom has been affecting you over the last four weeks. Anyone who wants to check in on how they’re coping with stressful or difficult life events is welcome to take it.
