Symptom screener — not a diagnosis
Trauma & CPTSD symptom screener
Answer how often each statement fits you lately. Scores show possibility, not certainty — then we suggest a paced next step with a psychologist if needed. You will not be forced to relive everything to start.
1. Re-experiencing
Unwanted memories, nightmares, or sudden “as if it’s happening again” moments show up related to past harm or danger.
2. Avoidance
I avoid people, places, conversations, or feelings that remind me of what happened — even when it costs me daily life.
3. On edge
I stay jumpy, watchful, or easily startled — poor sleep, tense body, or quick anger/irritability are common.
4. Numbness / disconnect
I feel numb, cut off from myself or others, or like life is happening behind glass.
5. Shame / self-worth
I carry deep shame, worthlessness, or a sense that I am permanently damaged — beyond ordinary guilt about a mistake.
6. Relationships
Trust, closeness, or staying in relationships feels hard — I push people away, cling, or feel unsafe even when others are kind.
Answer all six items to see a result.
This is an original educational symptom screener for adults — not a clinical PTSD/CPTSD interview, not a medical diagnosis, and not emergency care. Scores show possibility, not certainty. Trauma therapy here is paced; you are not forced to relive everything. In crisis in Nepal, call TUTH Helpline 1166 (or local emergency services wherever you are).
Online trauma quizzes often overclaim. This page stays softer: possibility bands, clear limits, crisis guidance, and a path to human paced care — not a label from a website.

Common questions
- Does this diagnose PTSD or CPTSD?
- No. This is an educational symptom screener. Only a qualified clinician can assess PTSD, complex PTSD (CPTSD), or related conditions after a proper history.
- If I score high, do I have CPTSD?
- No. A higher band means your answers are above this form’s threshold and may indicate trauma-related patterns. CPTSD and PTSD need clinical assessment — not a website score.
- If I score low, am I fine?
- Not necessarily. Low scores mean trauma-related disorders are less likely from these answers alone. Screeners miss some people. Seek help if sleep, relationships, or daily life still suffer.
- Will therapy force me to relive everything?
- No. Trauma-informed care is paced — stabilization and coping can come before deeper processing. You control how much you share and when.
- Is this an emergency tool?
- No. If you are in crisis in Nepal, call TUTH Helpline 1166. Use local emergency services wherever you are.
