Self Report Measure High or Severe
Your results on the K10 self-report measure fall into the HIGH OR SEVERE RANGE.
From how you answered the checklist – it appears you’re facing a really difficult time right now and are likely struggling with the demands of daily life.
Your K10 results indicate that you’ve likely been experiencing high levels of psychological distress in the past four weeks. From how you answered the K10 it seems that you’re currently struggling with your mental health.
The K10 result is not a diagnosis. However, the symptoms you’re reporting are consistent with a diagnosis of anxiety and/or depression.
Mental health challenges are common and treatable.
More than 2 in 5 Australians aged 16-85 have experienced a mental health disorder at some time in their life. Every year 1 in 5 Australians live with a mental health disorder. One in 10 Australians will have thoughts about suicide at some point in their life.
Some things you might like to consider:
Speak with your GP – they will complete a thorough assessment and explore your options, including the option of getting a mental health treatment plan and referral to access subsidised psychological counselling.
Consider psychological counselling – access online psychological counselling from a qualified and experienced psychologist, occupational therapist, or social worker.
It is common for people experiencing high psychological distress to have thoughts of suicide, which can be confusing, frightening and isolating. 1 in 6 (16.7%) Australians aged 16-85 have had serious thoughts about taking their own life at some point in their lives. If this is you – it is important that you connect with someone who can listen and help.
