This quiz is designed for young adults, or the family members of young adults, who are noticing signs of emotional distress after a difficult or overwhelming experience. Some individuals develop symptoms of trauma or PTSD in response to a significant event—whether acute, like an accident, or prolonged, like emotional neglect.
This quiz is not a diagnosis, but it can be a helpful first step in understanding your experience and exploring whether further support might be valuable. Our goal is to help you or your loved one reflect on symptoms that might be tied to trauma, as a pathway to finding the right kind of support.

Example result:
YOUR RESULT: NO INDICATION OF PTSD SYMPTOMS
Your responses suggest that you or your loved one are not currently experiencing symptoms associated with PTSD. While this is encouraging, mental health is not a static state and it can shift with life experiences, stressors, and transitions.
We believe in caring for the whole person. Whether or not you or your loved one are in distress today, tending to your emotional well-being is a lifelong process. Regular self-reflection, support from trusted relationships, and engaging in practices that nurture the mind and body are all important parts of mental wellness. If you or your loved one are ever feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or just not quite yourself, you don’t have to wait for a crisis to reach out. Support is available at The Dorm. Connect with our team today.
If you or your loved one is experiencing a life-threatening emergency, please call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. For mental health emergencies, dial 988.
Think of a stressful or traumatic event that happened to you or your loved one. Then, on a scale from Never to Very Often, rate how often you or your loved one experience the following as a result of that event:
Intrusive memories, nightmares, or flashbacks of the event
Avoidance of reminders, emotions, or situations connected to the experience
Heightened anxiety, irritability, or trouble sleeping
Persistent feelings of guilt, fear, or shame, even after the event has passed
Feeling constantly on edge or easily startled (hypervigilance)
