Imported from the OpenScales open item-bank project. The original instrument's optional open-ended "other problems" free-text field is not included, since this platform's question format is option-based, not free text. This specific digital implementation has not been independently clinically validated by PsiQ — scores are for self-reflection and educational purposes only, and are not a diagnosis.
