What is the relationship with PTSD and picking this up in a PsyCheck screening?
The PsyCheck screening will screen for general anxiety, depression and somatic problems and then if anything positive comes up, clinicians need to work out how to do a proper assessment (as in the package). The system is purposely symptom based rather than diagnosis based so that non-mental health professionals can still do something without having to be trained as mental health clinicians and make diagnoses. You will need to determine the disabling symptoms of your client and address those regardless of whether they make up a syndrome called PTSD or not.
