How to read questionnaire results

A plain-language guide to what self-report scores can show, what they miss and how professional assessment is different.

Start with one defined question

Choose the questionnaire closest to what you want to explore, not a condition you think you have. Check its time window and limits first; one questionnaire is enough.

Read a score with context

Read the published score alongside daily-life impact, recent changes, sleep, health, medication or substances, environment and support. A low total can still coexist with a serious safety concern.

Know when the collection has no match

NuraCheck does not cover every mental-health concern. Do not substitute a nearby topic. If a concern is important, worsening quickly or affects safety, use professional or crisis support.

Professional assessment asks a broader question

A professional may consider history, functioning, risks, strengths, physical health, other explanations and several sources. A questionnaire score is one possible input, not a diagnosis or treatment recommendation.
