A Simple Mental Health Pain Scale

Consider developing a habit of conducting a mental health check on yourself. A mental health pain scale can be a useful tool to evaluate your emotions, so you can choose the most appropriate self-care. It’s possible that you may not realize the extent of your mental health until you recognize the varying degrees of pain you may be in, influenced by time of day, environment, or life seasons, etc.

The tipping point into doubling down on spiritual and medical help is level 5. This is where your mental health begins to impact your daily routine, making simple tasks challenging. It’s important not to neglect your emotional needs and let them escalate to the point of “severe.”

Regular self-assessment and seeking help when required is crucial. Keep this chart nearby for quick check-ins to monitor your mental state.
