Commonly asked questions
The CAPS is used during the diagnostic process to assess the presence and severity of PTSD symptoms. It can also be used throughout treatment to monitor progress and adjust the treatment plan.
The CAPS is administered through a structured interview with the patient. The clinician asks a series of questions related to PTSD symptoms and rates the intensity and frequency of each symptom based on the patient's responses.
