Traumatic Stress (IES-R)
The Impact of Event Scale-Revised (Weiss & Marmar) is a classic trauma scale: it assesses subjective distress after a specific stressful event over the past 7 days across three dimensions — intrusions (unwanted memories, images, dreams), avoidance (of thoughts, feelings, reminders), and hyperarousal (irritability, watchfulness, disturbed sleep and concentration). It's not a PTSD diagnosis but a measure of how much the event is still "present" and troubling — useful for tracking your state and deciding about help.
Before you start
This measures subjective distress after a traumatic event over the past 7 days; it is not a PTSD diagnosis. It makes sense to fill it out anchored to a specific difficult event. High scores are a reason to see a specialist, not a self-diagnosis; low ones in the presence of trauma are not "it's all over" but a snapshot of the week.
Choose the specific difficult stressful event that troubles you. Rate how much each difficulty has bothered you in the past 7 days in relation to it.
