Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10)

The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) is one of the most widely used instruments in clinical psychology to measure the degree to which situations in your life are perceived as stressful. Answer based on how you have felt during the last month.

This test is a self-assessment tool, not a clinical diagnosis. Results do not replace evaluation by a mental health professional. If you feel that stress is affecting your daily life, I encourage you to seek therapeutic support.
