Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for classifying a PTSD status. In an embodiment, an example method for using a classifier can comprise receiving information from electrocardiography performed on an individual; determining features from the information; comparing the features to the a logistic regression classifier trained using features determined from median quiescent segments of RR interval information from individuals with and without PTSD, wherein the median quiescent segments are non-overlapping time periods of lowest median HR for each individual, and the features include one or more of the following: deceleration capacity (DC), low frequency (LF) power, very low frequency (VLF) power, and standard deviation of all normal RR intervals (SDNN); and determining a posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) status of the individual based on the comparison of the features to the classifier, wherein the PTSD status is a severity of PTSD based on a probability of PTSD.
