How's Your Health?
General Health Questionnaire
Do you feel like there is some sort of discomfort, disturbance or distress in your life and you don’t know what is it or why is it happening? If your answer is yes, then this tool can give you a better understanding about how your overall health is affected. This can help give direction to your healing journey.
This assessment is a widely used screening tool designed to assess an individual's general mental health and well-being. The total score on the GHQ provides a measure of an individual's overall psychological well-being, with higher scores indicating a greater likelihood of mental health problems. It provides a preliminary indication of an individual's psychological distress and helps identify those who may require further evaluation.
