Most of them have two parts. First, Iýll ask if youýve ever had a particular problem, and if so, about how often in the past month (week). Then Iýll ask you how much distress or discomfort that problem may have caused you.recurrent and intrusive distressing recollections of the event, including images, thoughts, or perceptions./ Criterion B. The traumatic event is persistently reexperienced in one (or more) of the following ways:B-1, B-2,B-3, B-4, B-5/ Criterion C.
