Thomas Holmes and
Richard Rahe came up with the Stress Chart in 1967. The chart you just
used came from Psycholgist Georgia Witkin, who reassessed the chart
in 1990.
If you scored less
than 0 - please contact me I want to talk to you! I need your advice!
If you scored between
25-150 you are facing the average stress most other people are facing,
but it never hurts to talk to someone.
If you scored between 150 - 300 there is a 50% chance that you will experience a physical illness within two years if the emotional stress is not dealt with. If you scored over 300 there is an 80% chance of contracting a major illness, having an accident, or becoming clinically depressed. Please know that we are here for you and support you as you seek help from your physician! If you would like to know the values for particular circumstances they are located on the Stress Values page. |
