How to use your result
Your score is a snapshot of how you have been feeling or behaving recently. It is meant for self-reflection, education and research and is not a diagnosis or medical advice. Where a scale has no published norm entered on PsiQ, we do not invent one, so you will see raw scores rather than made-up percentiles.
If you are struggling: please talk to a doctor or a qualified mental-health professional. In India you can call Tele-MANAS at 14416, a free government mental-health helpline. If you are in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services.
