About this test
This page uses a validated screening questionnaire with its original wording and published scoring cutoffs. Your answers are scored automatically as soon as you finish. A screening result can tell you whether it's worth talking to a doctor or mental-health professional, but only they can make a diagnosis.
Possible results
- Low distress (score 0+)
- Moderate distress (score 6+)
- High distress (score 12+)
- Very high distress (score 20+)
