Stress index answers: 3 "yes": Your stress level is still within a manageable range. 4-5 "yes": Stress is quite bothering you.

This scale includes a set of five symptom items. The "suicidal ideation" item is assessed separately, with a score of 6 or higher being the cutoff for screening.

The Short Form Health Scale (BSRS-5) asks patients to recall the degree of distress or anxiety they have felt over the past week (including the day of assessment). A total BSRS-5 score of ≤3 may rule out suicidal risk. It is recommended to first inquire about the presence of symptoms, and then determine the severity if present. The BSRS-5 score ranges from 0 to 20, and is categorized into several levels based on the score:

<6 points: Normal range, indicating a good mood. 6-9 points: Mild, stress management is recommended; talk to family or friends to express emotions.

10-14 points: Moderate, professional counseling is recommended; seek psychological counseling or receive professional help.

15 points or above: Severe, requires high level of care; seek professional guidance or psychiatric treatment.
