Complex PTSD

The «Complex PTSD» report is the paid part of the CPTSD test: you answer 75 statements about how life is for you now — what returns from the past, what you avoid, how much readiness your body holds, how emotions, self-image and closeness work — and the code computes TWO independent ICD-11 axes (the trauma core and disturbances in self-organization), six clusters, 21 facets, a separate dissociation line, three cost-in-life bars and the four conditions by which this picture is actually determined. The AI then writes a coherent reading from those numbers: what adds up, what does not, what else could explain it and what to do next. We never ask what happened to you. The test itself, the profile and the checklist are free: you pay only for the deep reading, after you have already seen your scales. This is an educational tool, not a diagnosis, not a medical conclusion and not a prescription.

Scope

What we analyse

  • Two axes instead of one score

    The complex form is not determined by a sum: ICD-11 requires all three clusters of the trauma core and, separately, all three clusters of disturbances in self-organization. So this is a picture rather than a number: where you sit on each axis, which clusters are closed and which are not — and what the common, awkward picture of «loud self-organization, no core» actually means.

  • The ICD-11 conditions, with the count inside

    Clusters count only whole, never on average. The code shows an internal count rather than a tick: «two clusters of three», «three of three» — plus the real cost in life and duration on their own. And it states plainly that the thresholds are ours, not clinical cut-offs.

  • Dissociation as its own line

    Watching yourself from outside and blanks in time are computed outside both axes: dissociation is what most distinguishes the complex form from the ordinary one — and what changes the ORDER of help. When switching off is strong, stabilization comes first and memory work only after.

  • Cost in life — beside, not inside

    Three bars: work and tasks, the people close to you, daily life and health. A hard experience differs from a disorder precisely by what it costs, so cost is measured separately and never mixed into the symptoms. A quiet cost is a finding too, and the reading says so plainly.

  • What else produces the same picture

    A required part of the reading, not a footnote: depression, long exhaustion, a borderline pattern, autism, attention difficulties, the aftermath of illness or loss. The separating principles are named directly — a steadily negative self-image versus one that swings, a continuous background versus episodes, «it was always like this» versus a clear before and after.

  • The route where you live, and what to ask for

    The classification in force here has no entry for the complex form at all — a consulting room will use a different name, and it is better to know that in advance. The reading says what to ask for (trauma-focused therapy; a skills stage first where dysregulation is strong) and what to bring. Plus a PDF: material for a conversation, not a conclusion.

  • Free first — then decide

    Both axes, your point on the map, six clusters with zones, the number of closed conditions and the «another explanation» flag are free, right after the test. If your answers show risk, a help block with crisis lines opens free as well, before any payment. You pay only for the full reading.

How it works

Three steps to a clear result

  1. Upload your data

    Take a photo of a test or scan, upload a PDF — or just describe your symptoms. Several files at once, no sign-up.

  2. AI analyses everything

    It reads test values and findings on images and checks them against reference ranges. For tests from different dates, it tracks the trend.

  3. A clear result

    What’s normal, what’s off and what it means — in plain language, with advice on which doctor to see.

FAQ

Common questions

  • No — and that matters. The test never says you have complex PTSD and never says you do not. There are exactly four outcomes and the code derives them: the profile matches the picture of complex PTSD; it matches the picture of PTSD; disturbances in self-organization without a trauma core, where another explanation should be looked for; or the picture does not add up to either. A diagnosis is made by a clinician in person.
  • No, not once. The test asks only how it echoes now, and once about the type of situation from a closed list where «I would rather not say» is an equal option. A detailed account of events outside a therapeutic relationship does harm, and the profile does not need it: the picture comes from the symptoms and their cost.
  • The free PCL-5 scale on this site answers with a single score against the DSM-5 criteria and stops there. Here there are 75 of our own statements, two independent ICD-11 axes, six clusters, 21 facets, a dissociation line, three cost bars, the conditions with counts inside, and a coherent AI text built from your numbers — including how your picture differs from depression and from a borderline pattern.
  • Free, you get real numbers: both axes, the point on the map, six clusters with zones, the number of closed conditions and the other-explanations flag. The paid reading is the coherent text built on them: what your pair of axes means and which of the four outcomes applies, the checklist with every condition explained, the six-ray profile, the dissociation line and the order of help, the three cost bars, the differential and the route where you live. Plus a PDF and a chat with the AI about your profile.
  • No. Medication and dosages are never named — those decisions belong to a clinician. The reading also teaches no memory-processing technique: that is a specialist’s work in a relationship, and as text it works badly and unsafely. The practical part covers stabilization, rhythm, environment and how to find a specialist and start.
  • If things are dangerous or unbearable right now, a live person comes before any test: a crisis line or your local emergency number. If your answers show signs of risk, a block with help lines opens free and before payment — we do not make money on protection.
