How to use your result
- Treat the score as a starting point for discussing your wellbeing, not as a diagnosis on its own.
- Save or copy the result if you plan a consultation; it can help describe changes over the past two weeks.
- Consider not only the total score but also how much the symptoms interfere with daily life.
Please pay special attention to this
Your response to the question about thoughts of death or self-harm indicates a need for support regardless of your total score. Do not face this alone: contact someone you trust and a qualified professional as soon as possible. If you are in immediate danger, seek emergency help right now.
This result is not a diagnosis. Only a qualified professional can assess your condition and recommend appropriate support.
