No. This is a self-reflection tool, not a clinical diagnosis. A formal PTSD diagnosis is made by a licensed clinician through a structured clinical interview that weighs frequency, duration, and how much a pattern interferes with daily life — a short web check-in cannot replace that.
A stress reaction after a difficult or distressing experience is common, and for most people it eases within the first few weeks. In the DSM-5, PTSD is only considered when symptoms across these clusters persist for more than about a month and cause real distress or interfere with daily functioning — duration and impact are what separate an expected reaction from a clinical picture, not the presence of any single symptom.
Practical next steps: (1) In the UK, you can ask your GP for a referral, or self-refer to NHS Talking Therapies for trauma-focused treatment. (2) In the US, look for a licensed, trauma-informed therapist experienced in treating PTSD. (3) The National Center for PTSD (ptsd.va.gov) publishes free, public self-help resources and information on evidence-based treatment, regardless of military background.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a structured, evidence-based therapy in which a trained clinician guides bilateral stimulation — typically guided eye movements — while a person briefly focuses on a distressing memory, helping the brain reprocess it so it feels less overwhelming. Alongside trauma-focused CBT, it is one of the most researched and widely recommended treatments for PTSD.

מה זה Trauma Response Check-In?
The Trauma Response Check-In looks at patterns across four clusters commonly described in trauma research: intrusion (unwanted memories, flashbacks, distressing dreams), avoidance (steering clear of reminders, places, or thoughts), negative alterations in mood and thinking (negative beliefs, self-blame, feeling detached, loss of interest), and hyperarousal (feeling on edge, being easily startled, irritability, trouble sleeping or concentrating). It is a self-reflection tool, not a clinical diagnosis.
Most people who go through a difficult or distressing experience have some kind of stress reaction afterward, and for many that reaction eases on its own within a few weeks. What distinguishes clinically significant PTSD is how long the reaction persists — typically beyond about a month — how intense it is, and how much it interferes with daily life, relationships, and work.

This is a self-reflection tool, not a clinical diagnosis. If the results resonate or you are struggling, talk to a licensed professional — PTSD is treatable, and two well-established, evidence-based approaches are EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and trauma-focused CBT.

שאלות נפוצות
Is this a clinical diagnosis?
No. This is a self-reflection tool, not a clinical diagnosis. A formal PTSD diagnosis is made by a licensed clinician through a structured clinical interview that weighs frequency, duration, and how much a pattern interferes with daily life — a short web check-in cannot replace that.
What's the difference between a normal stress reaction and PTSD?
A stress reaction after a difficult or distressing experience is common, and for most people it eases within the first few weeks. In the DSM-5, PTSD is only considered when symptoms across these clusters persist for more than about a month and cause real distress or interfere with daily functioning — duration and impact are what separate an expected reaction from a clinical picture, not the presence of any single symptom.
What should I do if I strongly relate to the results?
Practical next steps: (1) In the UK, you can ask your GP for a referral, or self-refer to NHS Talking Therapies for trauma-focused treatment. (2) In the US, look for a licensed, trauma-informed therapist experienced in treating PTSD. (3) The National Center for PTSD (ptsd.va.gov) publishes free, public self-help resources and information on evidence-based treatment, regardless of military background.
What is EMDR?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a structured, evidence-based therapy in which a trained clinician guides bilateral stimulation — typically guided eye movements — while a person briefly focuses on a distressing memory, helping the brain reprocess it so it feels less overwhelming. Alongside trauma-focused CBT, it is one of the most researched and widely recommended treatments for PTSD.
How is this different from the Worry Check-In (anxiety screener)?
The Worry Check-In looks at general anxiety patterns — persistent worry, physical tension, restlessness — that can show up without any specific triggering event. This check-in focuses specifically on patterns tied to a difficult or distressing experience: intrusive memories, avoidance of reminders, negative shifts in mood tied to the event, and hyperarousal. The two can overlap, since hyperarousal shows up in both, but the underlying pattern being screened is different.
Does having these symptoms mean something is wrong with me?
No. Trauma responses — intrusive memories, avoidance, feeling on edge — are a normal nervous-system reaction to an abnormal event, not a sign of weakness or a character flaw. For most people these reactions fade with time and support. When they persist and interfere with daily life, PTSD is a well-understood, highly treatable condition, not something to feel ashamed of.
