Post Traumatic Stress Disorder results from exposure to a traumatic event in which both of the following were present:

  • The individual witnessed or experienced some event or events that involved actual, threatened or perceived serious injury or death to themselves or someone else.

  • The individual's response involved intense fear, helplessness or horror.

The following questions represent many of the areas a professional would be evaluating. To get an accurate screening, it is very important for you to answer each and every question honestly. As you read through these questions, remember that we all may have experienced one or more bad moments or bad days. A short time means a few hours up to a couple of days; not weeks or months.

Your responses to these questions are strictly confidential and are not saved and/or recorded by Resurrection Health Care or any other entity.
