Psychological Distress — K10
The K10 is a widely used screening tool for measuring psychological distress — how much you have experienced tension, nervousness, despair, and exhaustion in the past month.
This questionnaire is for self-reflection only. If you are experiencing severe distress or thoughts of self-harm, seek professional help immediately.
📌 Instructions
Rate each question by how often you felt this way in the past month — from "None of the time" (1) to "All of the time" (5).
