Disclaimer
Please read carefully before using StressScore.
Educational Purposes Only
StressScore and all content on stresscheckup.com — including the assessment tool, articles, guides, and any other materials — are provided for informational and educational purposes only. Nothing on this Site constitutes medical advice, clinical diagnosis, psychological assessment, or professional mental health support of any kind. The assessment results are generated algorithmically based on self-reported responses and are intended solely to provide general informational feedback to support self-reflection.
Not a Medical Tool or Diagnostic Instrument
StressScore is not a validated clinical instrument. It cannot diagnose any medical condition, mental health disorder, or psychological state — including but not limited to anxiety disorders, clinical depression, burnout disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), bipolar disorder, or any other condition. A score from this assessment does not confirm the presence or absence of any health condition. Only a qualified healthcare professional — such as a GP, psychiatrist, psychologist, or licensed therapist — can provide a clinical assessment and diagnosis.
No Professional Relationship
Using StressScore does not create a professional, therapeutic, or clinical relationship of any kind between you and the Site's operators, authors, or contributors. There is no doctor-patient relationship, no therapist-client relationship, and no counsellor-client relationship arising from your use of this Site or its content.
Seek Professional Help
If you are experiencing significant emotional distress, persistent mental health symptoms, or difficulties that are substantially affecting your ability to function in daily life — please seek support from a qualified healthcare professional. Your GP or primary care doctor is usually the best first point of contact. They can assess your needs, provide referrals, and discuss treatment options. Professional help is available, effective, and you do not need to reach crisis point before asking for it.
Crisis Resources
StressScore is not a crisis service. If you are experiencing a mental health emergency, having thoughts of suicide or self-harm, or are in immediate danger, please contact emergency services or a crisis line immediately. United States: Call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline). United Kingdom: Call 116 123 (Samaritans, free, 24/7). Australia: Call 13 11 14 (Lifeline). Canada: Call 1-833-456-4566. Ireland: Call 116 123 (Samaritans). International: Visit iasp.info/resources/Crisis_Centres for a global directory.
Accuracy and Limitations
While the assessment draws on established frameworks from stress and burnout research, it has not been formally validated for clinical use. It cannot account for the full complexity of an individual's circumstances, medical history, or psychological state. Results should be interpreted as indicative rather than definitive. Individual results may not accurately reflect your actual stress, burnout, or mental health status, and should not be used to make medical or lifestyle decisions without professional guidance.
Content Accuracy
We strive to ensure that the educational content on StressScore is accurate, evidence-based, and current. However, medical and psychological research evolves rapidly, and some information may become outdated. We make no warranty — express or implied — regarding the accuracy, completeness, or currency of any content on this Site. Always verify important health information with a qualified professional.
