Diagnosis of PTSD

There’s no test to diagnose PTSD. Instead, a PTSD psychiatrist diagnoses after asking about your:

  • Symptoms
  • Medical history
  • Mental health history
  • Exposure to trauma
 

It might be difficult to discuss the trauma. You may be required to bring a loved one with you to the appointment to encourage and provide information about your symptoms and behavior changes. At MAVA Behavioral Health, we offer you the best treatment for PTSD.

Screening for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

When we want to know if something is inappropriate with our health, we acquire a medical assessment. A PTSD assessment entails answering questions about your mental state, feelings, and behaviors. A mental health professional is usually the one who diagnoses or confirms PTSD. This could involve several steps.

PTSD symptoms are classified into four categories: intrusion, avoidance, cognitive and mood changes, and changes in arousal and reactivity. Several at-home self-screening tools can help you determine whether you need to see a doctor for further evaluation. Healthcare professionals have additional diagnostic tools.

You can expect to be questioned about events that may have been painful to you. You will be asked about any difficulties you have experienced since these events. Assessments typically include sets of questions drawn from a list. You may be asked to fill out surveys containing questions about how you feel and what you think.

Was in an actual crisis with my teenager and Dr pulled through! With lack of physical psychiatry around here it’s been hard on her! Will definitely tell everyone about Dr QADRI and this wonderful app!

All of my children see Ms. Rida and I have to say we couldn't be happier. My youngest child has a lot of mental health issues and can become extremely violent but, with Ms. Rida's help we have been able to get him stable. All of my children absolutely love her. I would recommend Mava Health to anyone needing help and definitely Ms. Rida.
