Not all trauma leaves visible scars. PTSD can develop after any overwhelming experience—whether it’s a single traumatic event or prolonged emotional stress. If you’ve felt stuck in patterns of anxiety, hypervigilance, numbness, or emotional flooding, our PTSD self-assessment quiz can help you start making sense of your experience.
What This Quiz Is (And Isn’t)
This quiz is part of our interactive mental health assessment series, created to help you reflect on emotional patterns and consider whether certain symptoms may be linked to unresolved trauma. It draws from common indicators of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, such as intrusive thoughts, avoidance behaviors, and changes in mood or arousal.
That said, this quiz is not a diagnosis. It’s a reflection tool—a way to start exploring how past experiences may still be impacting your mental and emotional health today.
When to Take This Quiz
Consider taking the PTSD quiz if:
- You experience flashbacks, nightmares, or intrusive memories.
- You feel emotionally numb or disconnected from others.
You avoid places, people, or thoughts that remind you of something painful. - You startle easily, feel hyper-alert, or have trouble relaxing.
- You’ve noticed shifts in mood, self-esteem, or your ability to trust others.
Trauma doesn’t have to be recent—or “big”—to have a lasting effect. If something still feels unresolved, your body and brain may still be processing it.
Using the Quiz Wisely
- Answer honestly based on your typical experiences.
- Reflect on what your results mean for you—not as a label, but as insight.
- Take action if you feel ready—by talking to your therapist, exploring DBT, or simply continuing your self-exploration.
You’re Not Alone
PTSD can be deeply isolating, especially when others don’t see what you’re going through. But you don’t have to navigate it alone—and insight is a powerful first step toward healing.
