PTSD Symptom Scale

The PTSD Symptom Scale (PSS) is a tool used to assess the symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in individuals who have experienced trauma. It typically includes questions about the presence and severity of symptoms such as intrusive memories, avoidance behaviors, negative changes in mood or cognition, and heightened arousal. By evaluating these symptoms, mental health professionals can better understand a person’s experience and develop appropriate treatment plans. The scale helps to ensure that those affected receive the support they need to cope with the impact of trauma on their lives.
