About the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5)

This assessment asks about your experiences over the past month. Each question is scored on a scale, and the total helps indicate the level of symptoms you may be experiencing.

How Scoring Works

Mild (11-20 points)
Moderate (21-32 points)
Severe (33-80 points)

Important Notice

This screening is based on the PCL-5, developed by the National Center for PTSD. It is not a diagnostic tool. Only a licensed mental health professional can diagnose PTSD through a clinical evaluation. If you are in crisis or experiencing thoughts of self-harm, please call or text 988 immediately.
