Who is the adult version for?
You do not need a problem with a name to take it. Many adults come to the Stressometer because something feels off and they cannot tell whether it is ordinary pressure or something more.
- You feel stretched thin at work and it is spilling into evenings and weekends
- Your sleep, appetite or patience has changed and you are not sure why
- You are caring for children and ageing parents at the same time
- You have been through a move, a loss, a break-up or a job change
- You want a baseline before deciding whether to speak to someone
- You live abroad and do not know where to begin looking for help
What it asks you about
The questions follow the five dimensions (Human Nature, Life Circumstances, Clinical Symptoms, Domestic Life and Professional Life) as they show up in adult life. Professional Life covers workload, deadlines and the people you work with. Domestic Life covers your marriage or relationship, children, and the family you look after. Life Circumstances covers money, health and big changes. Clinical Symptoms covers the signs a doctor would ask about, such as sleep, worry and low mood. Human Nature covers how you tend to handle pressure in the first place.
There are no trick questions and no right answers. The more honestly you answer, the more useful the report.
Where your result leads
If your stress is in a healthy range, you receive a detailed report with preventive tips, self-care strategies and the early warning signs worth watching. Taking the Stressometer again later shows whether things have shifted.
If the result suggests you would benefit from professional support, the next step is sessions with a psychologist through Dr. Vohra's Emotional Wellness Hub: talk therapy, cognitive behavioural techniques, coping strategies and progress tracking, online or in person in East Patel Nagar, New Delhi.
If the result shows signs that need clinical attention, a psychiatrist joins the psychologist. The psychiatrist carries out a medical evaluation, makes a diagnosis where one is warranted, and plans treatment alongside therapy.
Taking it from outside India
The adult version works the same way in any country, at USD 8.99. Online counselling with a psychologist can follow where the rules of your country allow it. Psychiatric treatment and prescriptions are governed by local law, so if your result points to a psychiatrist, NWNT helps you find licensed care where you live rather than prescribing across a border.
Before you start
A little preparation makes the result more accurate.
- Set aside about 10 to 15 minutes when you will not be interrupted
- Answer for how life actually is now, not how you would like it to be
- Finish in one sitting so your answers reflect a single moment
- Keep the report; it is a useful starting point for any clinician you see
Frequently asked questions
- Can my partner and I both take it?
- Yes. Each of you takes your own assessment and receives your own report. Comparing notes can start a useful conversation, but neither report is shared with the other person unless its owner chooses to.
- I already see a psychiatrist. Is there any point?
- It can still help. A structured picture across five areas of life can show your doctor where the strain sits. It does not replace their judgement, so share the report with them rather than acting on it alone.
- Does a healthy result mean nothing is wrong?
- It means your answers fall in a healthy range today. Screening can miss things, and life changes. If you still feel unwell, talk to a clinician whatever the report says.
- Is NWNT an emergency service?
- No. NWNT screens people and connects them to planned care. If you or someone near you is in danger right now, call Tele-MANAS on 14416 (free, round the clock) or 112 in India, or the local emergency number in your country.
