DASS21 Self-assessment: Check Your Mental Well-being

Welcome to our DASS21 self-assessment tool. The Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS21) is a short questionnaire designed to help individuals gain insights into their emotional well-being. This questionnaire will offer you a snapshot of your current status in relation to depression, anxiety, and stress. While this is a valuable self-awareness tool, please remember it is not a substitute for a professional clinical diagnosis. If you have concerns about your mental health, it is essential to consult with a qualified clinical psychologist or mental health professional.
