In 30 seconds

  • What it is Brief screenings that spot general distress or resource signals.
  • What it is not Not diagnoses, not labels, not treatment decisions.
  • What to do If worried, talk to a health professional. In emergency, seek help immediately.

Who is this for?

For respondents, HR teams, and app store reviewers (Apple App Store, Google Play) or other auditing entities needing the scientific basis.

PsiSerenity helps see wellbeing trends early. Not a medical visit or emergency tool.

How to read results

Scores are operational signals, not grades. Color bands (Steady/Watch/Support) only for DSM-5 and Holmes-Rahe are internal heuristics to prioritize follow-up — not official APA or Holmes-Rahe interpretation.

The other 4 instruments do not expose numeric bands; read as trends and factor contrasts, always with the non-diagnostic note.

What they do not do

  • Do not diagnose disorders.
  • Do not replace clinical interview.
  • Do not recommend or adjust treatment.
  • Must not be used in emergencies.
