Anxiety and depression checklist

Curious about where your mental health is at?

Take the K10 (Kessler 10) – a self-report measure of your current level of psychological distress, by symptoms of anxiety and depression.

This self-report measure is commonly used by GPs and mental health professionals.

After completing the K10 you can print your results – you might like to discuss your results with your GP and/or your I relate. Health clinician.

Important note: The K10 is a screening tool. The checklist does not give a diagnosis.

When I complete the K10 online – what happens to my information?
The K10 online survey is totally anonymous. We cannot track website activity, including K10 scores, back to any one individual. However, we do retain information about the number of people completing the K10 self-report measure and the levels of psychological distress reported. This anonymous data enables us to develop resources and measure the levels of psychological distress reported by people visiting our site/service.
