1. What is a Mental Stress Calculator?

Definition: This calculator estimates your mental stress level based on the weighted severity of various stressors in your life.

Purpose: It helps individuals and professionals assess stress levels to better manage mental health and well-being.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

\[ S = \sum(W_i \times S_i) \]

Where:

\( S \) — Total stress score (dimensionless)
\( W_i \) — Weight of stressor i (0-10 scale)
\( S_i \) — Severity of stressor i (0-10 scale)

Explanation: Each stressor's weight (importance) is multiplied by its severity, and all products are summed for a total stress score.

3. Importance of Stress Assessment

Details: Regular stress assessment helps identify problem areas, track changes over time, and determine when professional help might be needed.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Rate each stressor's weight (how much it affects you) and severity (how intense it is) on a 0-10 scale. At least one stressor is required.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What do the scores mean?
A: 0-20 = Low stress, 21-50 = Moderate stress, 51-100 = High stress, 100+ = Very high stress (seek professional help).

Q2: How many stressors can I include?
A: The calculator supports up to 3 stressors, but you can do multiple calculations for more.

Q3: What's the difference between weight and severity?
A: Weight is how much the stressor affects your life overall, while severity is how intense the stress is currently.

Q4: How often should I use this?
A: Weekly or monthly checks can help track stress patterns and effectiveness of coping strategies.

Q5: Is this a diagnostic tool?
A: No, it's for self-assessment only. Consult a professional for clinical evaluations.
