What this check looks at
Stress often builds from the shape of an ordinary day. This check asks about breaks, time outdoors, movement, sleep, and the people you can talk to. Your answers describe habits. They cannot assess your mental health or diagnose anxiety or depression.
Who it is for
This is for adults who feel tense, stretched or tired from daily pressure. Choose what fits an ordinary week. If stress makes you feel overwhelmed or affects your health, contact a health care provider. [3]
