Congratulations on taking a proactive step towards managing your mental well-being by completing the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12)! The GHQ-12 is a widely used screening tool designed to evaluate general psychological distress, detect non-psychotic psychiatric disorders, and assess overall emotional well-being over the past few weeks. It helps identify common psychological symptoms such as anxiety, depression, social dysfunction, and loss of confidence.
To calculate your score on the GHQ-12 using the standard bimodal method (0-0-1-1), each item is scored as either 0 or 1, yielding a total score between 0 and 12. Alternatively, some scoring systems use a Likert scale (0 to 36). The questionnaire relies on self-reported feelings regarding recent changes in your normal functioning, requiring no clinical equipment—just an honest evaluation of your mental state in recent weeks.
