🌋 Stress Screening
A brief stress self-assessment based on the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-4), a widely used and validated screening tool.
Instrument: PSS-4
About this screening
The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-4) is a short, validated tool that measures how stressful you have found your life in the past month. It is not a diagnosis — it is a starting point for a conversation with a provider about stress management and whether further evaluation might help.
This screening is for informational purposes only and is not a diagnosis. Stress is not a medical diagnosis, but chronic stress can contribute to anxiety, depression, and other conditions.
Prefer to talk to a provider directly?
You don't need to take a screening first. You can schedule a psychiatric evaluation at any time.
