🔬 Complex PTSD Test (CPTSD-12)
What is complex PTSD (CPTSD)?
Complex post-traumatic stress (CPTSD) develops after prolonged or repeated adversity, often relational and early in life. Beyond the classic trauma symptoms (intrusions, avoidance, hypervigilance), it adds lasting disturbances in self-organization: emotions that are hard to regulate, a negative self-concept and difficulty in relationships.
CPTSD vs PTSD: what is the difference?
Classic PTSD often follows a single event. Complex PTSD results from repeated or ongoing exposure (abuse, neglect, prolonged violence) and affects your relationship with yourself and others more deeply. It is recognized in the ICD-11. The encouraging news: with the right support, genuine recovery is possible.
About this CPTSD screening
This test assesses two areas across 12 questions, core trauma symptoms and self-organization (emotions, self-worth, relationships). It is educational and confidential, never a diagnosis. If you feel unsafe or in crisis, contact local emergency services or a crisis line right away.
