Common Mistakes to Avoid
This is a general self-reflection tool only — it cannot diagnose anxiety, depression, or other conditions, which require proper clinical evaluation by trained professionals.
If stress indicators remain consistently high over time, this is worth discussing with a healthcare or mental health professional rather than just monitoring indefinitely.
This tool measures your own relative pattern over time — it's not validated for direct interpersonal comparison or diagnostic categorization.
