Assessment of Acute Stress Disorder
We assess the severity of your ASD based on the DSM-5 criteria and DSM-4-based Acute Stress Disorder Scale (ASDS). It is needed to exclude other mental disorders and make a precise diagnosis.The online assessment is based on figuring out the severity of the 5 major ASD symptoms:
- Intrusion symptoms: repetitive thoughts, dreams, and flashbacks about a traumatic event
- Bad mood: inability to enjoy things.
- Dissociative symptoms: detaching yourself from the emotions.
- Avoidance symptoms: avoiding talking and thinking about a traumatic event.Arousal symptoms: trouble falling asleep, restlessness, inability to focus.
Although ASD and PTSD have similar symptoms, they are not the same conditions. The primary difference lies in the onset and duration of the condition. ASD usually starts to manifest in less than 4 weeks after trauma, but PTSD can develop much later and usually lasts longer.
Sometimes, ASD can cause such symptoms. However, they are more typical for other mental disorders. This is why it is important for a specialist to make a precise diagnosis.
In general, a diagnosis can be made in 30 minutes. However, a longer consultation may be required to rule out other accompanying mental or emotional conditions.
The first online visit costs from $150 and each follow-up from $99.
