Stress Assessment

This original IMCURE self-check (not a licensed clinical scale) asks about common stress symptoms from the past two weeks to give you a general sense of your stress level.

Over the last 2 weeks, how often have you been bothered by each of the following?

1. Felt overwhelmed by your daily responsibilities
2. Felt irritable or short-tempered
3. Had trouble falling or staying asleep due to worry
4. Found it hard to concentrate
5. Noticed physical tension (headaches, tight shoulders, clenched jaw)
6. Had racing or repetitive worried thoughts
7. Noticed changes in appetite (eating more or less than usual)
8. Felt tired even after resting
9. Found it hard to relax or "switch off"
10. Felt like you couldn't cope with everything on your plate

If you are having thoughts of self-harm or suicide, please reach out immediately: KIRAN Mental Health Helpline (India) — 1800-599-0019 (toll-free, 24/7), or iCall — 9152987821. You are not alone, and help is available right now.

How this works

10 questions, each answered on a 0–3 scale (Never to Very often). Higher totals suggest higher everyday stress — this is a reflection prompt, not a diagnosis.

Frequently asked questions

Is this the same as the PSS-10?

No — the Perceived Stress Scale is a licensed academic instrument. This is an original, unbranded IMCURE self-check inspired by common stress symptoms, built to be freely usable.
