Why You Should Consider Taking Our Mental Health Test
In our mental health assessment, we utilise the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21). This is a widely accepted and credible self-reported assessment designed to help determine the risk factors for depression, anxiety, and stress.
A Great Start to Monitoring Your Mental Health & Risk Factors
It is normal to experience short phases of depression, stress, and anxiety. However, problems develop if these persist over prolonged periods.
An online mental health test is a quick and easy way to gauge your well-being. It can help to capture a snapshot of how you are doing at that specific point in time. Our DASS-21 iteration doesn’t require much time to complete and lets individuals understand their current emotional state almost immediately. Certified professionals also use this tool to monitor changes during treatment.
Indicate if you need to seek a mental health professional
While our test cannot diagnose you for mental health issues or different mental health conditions, your assessment results can help indicate whether you should take the next step in seeking help from a mental health professional.
This test can be used as an anxiety test or depression test. This is not for those looking for an OCD test or PTSD test – We would recommend speaking to one of our certified professionals via our ThoughtFull App instead.
Mental health and stress-related issues are increasing among Singaporeans
- Over half of Singaporeans (55%) say they have felt stressed to the point where it impacted how they lived their daily lives at least once in the past year. About a quarter (24%) indicated that it has happened several times.
- A 2023 survey from Ipsos showed that mental health is the top health concern among Singaporeans. Almost half of Singaporeans (46%) indicated mental health as the biggest health problem facing the country, followed by cancer (38%) and stress (35%).
- A survey by PAP showed that two in five respondents have experienced mental health struggles. This statistic increases to 1 in 2 among youths aged 15 to 35.
Nearly half (49%) of Singaporeans reported feeling depressed to the point that they felt sad or hopeless almost every day for weeks at a time. 20% say they have felt this way on multiple occasions in the past year.
How To Interpret Our Mental Health Test Evaluation
What is the DASS-21 (Depression Anxiety Stress Scale)?
The Depression Anxiety Stress Scale is a 21-question assessment aimed at identifying an individual's mental and emotional well-being. It is a credible test that takes around 3-5 minutes to complete.
Individuals will rate each statement from 0-3 according to how much it relates to them (0 - ‘not at all’, 3 - ‘nearly every day). Scores will be computed to identify the severity of depression, anxiety, or stress.
Some statements in the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale:
- “I found it difficult to work up the initiative to do things”
- “I couldn’t seem to experience any positive feelings at all”
- “I tend to over-react to situations”
Can the DASS-21 diagnose mental health conditions?
Like other online mental health tests, the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale cannot diagnose mental health conditions. Certain symptoms common to depression or anxiety require a more rigorous evaluation before diagnosis.
Why should I take this mental health assessment if it cannot diagnose me?
While an online mental health assessment cannot diagnose you, the results of your assessment can:
- Help you process and articulate emotions better
- Indicate a need to take action to self-regulate or seek help from a professional
Ultimately, taking an assessment can be seen as an important first step in understanding your mental and emotional state, and whether you should take the next step in seeking help.
A licensed therapist in Singapore would be able to discuss your test results with you, gather additional information, and then formulate a mental health diagnosis to support your treatment goals.
How do I get a mental health diagnosis in Singapore?
As mentioned above, you can start by scheduling a session with a clinical psychologist in Singapore. A proper diagnosis will require extensive testing and interviews about your family, childhood, work, school, and overall life. It may also take more than one session.
A clinical psychologist can exclude false positives and pick up nuances that online assessments cannot. This holistic evaluation will allow for an accurate diagnosis and treatment roadmap.
If you’re looking to schedule a session, our ThoughtFull app will be able to connect you to a team of clinical psychologists, counsellors and mental health therapists. We offer Online Chat and Online Video options in Singapore.
How often do I need to assess my mental health?
Online mental health tests prove useful when done regularly and monitored over time. This is useful for identifying trends or anomalies and helping you decide if further support is needed.
When part of a treatment plan, it is up to the clinical psychologist to determine the frequency of assessment.
Alternatively, our ThoughtFullChat mental health app offers users a daily assessment check-in. This lets users regularly monitor their emotional well-being and walk through the results with a professional should they require more support.
How much does it cost to check my mental health condition in Malaysia?
Most mental health assessments in Singapore, like ours, are completely free for all.
However, if you wish to speak to a professional, it will not be free. For those interested, we consolidated the various types of therapy services in Singapore and their prices.
