- Results are for self-reflection only. Assessment results should be used as a starting point for self-understanding or conversation with healthcare providers, not as definitive conclusions.
- Seek professional help when needed. If you're struggling with mental health, please reach out to a qualified healthcare provider. Our assessments are not a substitute for professional evaluation.
- No clinical validation claims. While our assessments are based on research, they have not been clinically validated for diagnostic purposes.
