Symptom Checker

Our Symptom Checker will help you understand the extent of your PTSD symptoms. It’s a simple 20 question survey that should take only a few minutes to complete.

Please read each question carefully, then select one of the numbers to indicate the intensity with which you have been affected in the past month.

Upon completion, you will get a score that will help determine if you’re a good fit for the SGB procedure. Please do not hesitate to reach out to one of our patient care specialists if you have any questions.
