ptsd PTSD Scores

[Kelvin]

I had my first meeting with a counselor about 2 months ago. I just happen to look into my VA file I see that she posted my scores. PHQ-9 score was 23 I don't know the scale of that or what it may mean. She also posted my PTSD Raw score and it was 66 and it had DSM-IV PTSD Criteria B IS met, DSM-IV PTSD Criteria C IS met, DSM-IV PTSD Criteria D IS met and PTSD Diagnosis IS SUGGESTED. At the bottom it said impression: Major Depression r/o PTSD. I'm schedule for a meeting with a psychiatrist next month but what am to expect?

I found the following that may assist you

Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9)

DSM 5 Criterion for PTSD

I'm not sure what PTSD Raw Score is. The psychiatrist will talk with you and recommend prescriptions to help you with your symptoms. If you don't have a therapist for talk therapy yet, ask the doc for a referral.
