This self-check asks about cognitive exhaustion and mental overload. It draws on self-report well-being research such as Schutte and Malouff (2007). Source: Schutte & Malouff, 2007 (PubMed).
How to use it: Answer about how you have felt lately honestly. Higher scores mean more mental fatigue.
Reading your score: The bands describe how much mental fatigue you reported, not a diagnosis.
Limitations: This is a self-report screening tool, not a diagnosis. Fatigue has many causes, including sleep and physical health.
When to seek help: If fatigue is constant or affects daily life, consider a medical check-up and a mental health professional. If you ever feel you might harm yourself, contact 988 (US) right away.
