PTSD.com is here to help people understand trauma and improve their quality of life.
PTSD affects people from all walks of life, including military veterans and people who have lived through abuse, violence, or serious accidents. It can be hard to explain what you’re going through when you’re still trying to understand it yourself. You may also be here because someone you love is struggling and you want to know how to help.
We bring together information about PTSD, clinical screening tools, and resources for finding support. You can read about trauma at your own pace or use a screening to reflect on your experiences and prepare for a conversation with a qualified mental health professional.
PTSD.com is part of our work at MentalHealth.com, where we’re building a better mental health system that helps people understand themselves, build healthier relationships, and access the right care.
Whether you’re looking for answers for yourself or someone you love, you can start with an article, explore a screening, or look for support. Our goal is to make that first step a little easier.
