Not a medical diagnosis. Not a diagnosis. Cannot replace medical care or counseling. If you are struggling, seek help from a professional service such as Korea’s 1577-0199.
Answer thinking of about the past 2 weeks. This is not a test that names a disease and cannot replace medical care or counseling.
How to use
- Answer 8 items thinking about about the last two weeks. Topics are looping to-dos, neck and shoulder tension, busyness on rest days, irritability, recovery, putting off decisions, pressure from plans, and sense of time.
- Option scores are never 0 · sometimes 1 · often 2 · almost every day 3. Pick one per item.
- Press Total. You must answer every item to get a score.
- The total is n/24, with bands 0–8 low, 9–16 moderate, 17–24 high. A short note is attached.
- Again clears selections. This is not a medical diagnosis. If it is hard to cope, contact a professional service such as Korea’s mental-health counseling line 1577-0199.
Key concepts
This is a self-check of how tension lingers in daily life. The total is not a copy of a standardized clinical scale (for example an official stress questionnaire) and does not attach a diagnosis or confirm severity. Band names are arbitrary cutoffs.
A low score can still mean someone is struggling, and a high score is not an immediate diagnosis. When sleep, work, or relationships feel overwhelming, prioritize people around you and professional help over this number. It is not medical diagnosis or treatment and cannot replace care or counseling. In an emergency use local emergency resources; for general counseling remember 1577-0199. Band wording is also a reference total only and does not attach a disease name even if High appears. If it is hard to cope alone, use a counseling line regardless of this score. This is not a medical diagnosis.
Example
All 8 items as sometimes (1) → total 8/24, band low. Four items often (2) and four almost every day (3) → 8+12=20, high. Leaving one item blank shows a message to answer every item instead of a score. High is not a disease name; if you are struggling, consider counseling such as 1577-0199. Never only → 0 low; almost every day only → 24 high. To change an item before totaling, pick another option. Again clears selections and hides the score box. This is not a medical diagnosis.
