Work and Social Adjustment Scale (WSAS)
5 questions about daily functioning
Wondering how much your mental health is affecting your daily life? 5 quick questions about work, home, and social life. About 2 minutes.
How much is it actually getting in the way?
Symptom scores tell you how anxious or depressed you are. But two people with the same score can function very differently — one still gets through work and social life fine, the other can barely manage daily tasks. That gap is what the WSAS measures.
It's five quick questions, each rated 0–8, total 0–40. Each one covers a domain of life: work, home management, social activities, private leisure, and close relationships.
No trick questions, no reverse scoring — just a straight read on whether whatever you're dealing with is actually stopping you from living your life.
