About the PTSD Test

What This PTSD Screening Test Is Based On

This screening test uses clinically informed questions to help identify common symptoms associated with post-traumatic stress and assess how they may affect daily life.

It’s designed to evaluate how often PTSD-related symptoms show up in your daily life. Your results won’t confirm a diagnosis, but they’ll indicate whether it’s worth exploring further.

Evidence-Informed Questions

Adapted from a validated clinical PTSD screening instrument recognised internationally.

A Guide, Not a Diagnosis

Your score highlights whether your symptoms warrant a closer look. Only a qualified professional can diagnose PTSD.

A Clear Next Step

If your results suggest possible PTSD, Elyséa HEALTH can connect you with a psychiatrist for a comprehensive in-person assessment.

Your PTSD Test Score Explained

Understanding Your PTSD Test Results

The screening questionnaire’s score categorisation serves as a reference point for further clinical clarification.

Low Likelihood

Few Symptoms Reported

Your reported answers indicate minimal expression of symptoms typical for adult PTSD. No further action is needed unless you’re experiencing unexplained daily life disruptions.

Moderate Likelihood

Some Symptoms Present

Your responses may reflect a mild-to-moderate reaction to a distressing experience, such as intrusive thoughts or heightened alertness. Talking with a clinical counsellor may help.

Higher Likelihood

Symptoms Consistent With PTSD

Your frequency profile indicates multiple highly recurrent symptoms. We strongly suggest discussing these screening markers with your GP or booking an evaluation with our psychiatry specialists.

Whatever Your PTSD Test Score, Support Is Available

Connect with an AHPRA-registered specialist doctor at Elyséa HEALTH for qualified advice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers before you take the PTSD test.

Is this PTSD test a diagnosis?

No. This is a screening tool only. PTSD symptoms are complex and often overlap with other conditions; only a formal, in-depth psychiatric review can confirm an official diagnosis.

How long does the test take?

Around 2 to 5 minutes. There’s no need to overthink your answers; your first response is usually the most accurate.

What should I do if my score is high?

A higher score doesn’t confirm PTSD, but it’s a strong signal worth acting on. We’d recommend booking a comprehensive assessment with one of our psychiatrists, or raising your results with your GP.
