Mental Health  

Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood.

Perceived Stress Scale
  

  • The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) measures the degree to which situations in your life are perceived as stressful, as well as a direct question about your current level of experienced stress. The PSS questions ask about thoughts and feelings during the last month. They are easy to understand and are of a general nature. This makes the test relatively free from bias for or against any specific subpopulation group.
