Interactive Tool: What Is Your Stress Level?

What does this tool help you learn?

Stress from life changes

Major life changes are some of the biggest causes of stress, both positive and negative. Have you had any life changes recently? Have there been any changes at home or work, or in your relationships or finances?

  • Use this tool to get a rough estimate of your current stress level based on the number of life changes you've had recently. Your score will also show if you're more likely to have stress-related health problems in the near future.
  • After using the tool, you can explore tips and videos about ways to cope with stress. Choosing even one tip to try may help you begin to lower your stress—and your risk for stress-related health problems.

Get started by checking all events that have happened in the past 6 months.
