Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10)

The Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10) is a brief questionnaire designed to measure a person's level of mental distress based on their experiences over the past month. It asks about feelings of anxiety, nervousness, and depression, with each item rated on a scale from "none of the time" to "all of the time." The total score indicates how much psychological distress a person is experiencing, helping mental health professionals identify those who may need further support or treatment. It's a useful tool for screening and monitoring mental well-being in various settings.
