The score itself, shown against its full range, with a plain-language band label and an icon, never colour alone.
Wellbeing Check
Know Where You Stand
Sometimes the first step toward better wellbeing is simply pausing to ask: “How am I really doing?”
Top Wellness Africa provides brief, structured wellbeing and mental health screening as part of awareness, prevention and early-identification programs.
Important: screening is not diagnosis
A screening result does not by itself mean that someone has a mental health disorder. Screening is intended to identify areas that may benefit from further reflection, assessment or professional support.
Available checks
Take 2–5 Minutes to Check In With Yourself
Each check runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you answer is sent anywhere, and your results are for screening and self-reflection, not diagnosis.

Check 1 · Recommended first
WHO-5 Well-Being Index
A brief self-report measure of mental wellbeing: five statements about the previous two weeks, each rated from 0 to 5. Higher scores indicate better wellbeing.
Five questions. About two minutes.
Think about how you have been feeling over the past two weeks. For each statement, select the response that best describes your experience.
You will answer one statement at a time. You can go back at any point, and nothing is recorded until, and unless, you choose to contact us yourself.
How it is scored
Add the five responses for a raw score of 0–25, then multiply by 4 for a percentage score of 0–100. These are descriptive bands, not diagnostic categories.
0–24
Very low wellbeing
25–49
Low wellbeing
50–74
Moderate / generally positive wellbeing
75–100
Higher wellbeing
WHO materials note a score below 50 (a raw score below 13) as a suggested indication for further assessment: a prompt to look more closely, not a diagnosis.
Check 2
Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-4)
“How much stress are you experiencing?” The PSS assesses how unpredictable, uncontrollable and overloaded situations feel. Scores run 0–16; higher means greater perceived stress.
Four questions about the last month
The questions below ask about your feelings and thoughts during the last month. For each one, choose how often you felt or thought a certain way.
Two of the four items are positively worded and are reverse-scored, so answering honestly rather than consistently is what gives a meaningful reading.
Why there are no severity bands here
The PSS was not designed as a diagnostic instrument and has no universal diagnostic cut-offs. Presenting invented categories such as “0–4 low, 5–8 moderate, 9–12 high” as validated thresholds would be misleading, so this tool reports where a score sits on the range and leaves interpretation to relative perceived stress.
Check 3
Depression Screen (PHQ-2)
A two-item depression screen, useful as an initial gateway screen.
Gentle Reminder
This brief questionnaire is a screening tool and does not diagnose depression. A positive result means that further assessment may be appropriate.
Two questions about the last two weeks
Over the last two weeks, how often have you been bothered by either of the following problems?
A result here is never displayed as a bare score. Whatever the outcome, it routes into a “speak with someone” step rather than ending at a number.
Check 4
Anxiety Screen (GAD-2)
A brief two-item anxiety screen, for an initial indication of possible anxiety-related concerns.
Two questions about the last two weeks
Over the last two weeks, how often have you been bothered by either of the following problems?
As with every check on this page, this is an initial indication only, meant to be followed by a conversation rather than treated as a conclusion.
Check 5 · The lowest-effort entry point
Daily Wellbeing Check-In
Not a clinical assessment. One tap, no account, no score: a small habit that makes noticing how you are doing part of an ordinary day.
How is today going?
Answer for right now, not for how you think you should be feeling.
Your results
Never a bare score
“Your score is 42” tells someone nothing useful and can land badly. Every result on this site is built in three parts, whichever check produced it.
What It May Mean
The interpretation written for that specific instrument, including what the score cannot tell you.
What You Can Do Next
Reflect on what has been affecting your wellbeing. Speak with someone you trust. Consider professional support. Seek immediate help if you are in crisis or feel unsafe.
Safety & Privacy
What these tools can and cannot do
Critical safety message
Please remember: these questionnaires are screening and wellbeing tools, not diagnostic tests. Your results cannot determine whether you have a mental health disorder. If you are experiencing significant distress, your symptoms are affecting your daily functioning, or you are concerned about your safety, please seek professional help rather than relying on an online screening result.
If you are in immediate danger, experiencing a mental health emergency, or thinking about harming yourself or someone else, please contact your local emergency service or go to the nearest emergency healthcare facility.
Privacy
Your wellbeing matters to us. Information submitted through this screening tool should be handled securely and in accordance with applicable data-protection and professional confidentiality requirements. Unless you explicitly choose to request support, your screening responses should not be used to identify or contact you.
In this build, every check runs client-side: your answers are scored in your own browser, are never transmitted to Top Wellness Africa, and are gone as soon as you close the page.
For organizational screening programs
A more careful standard applies. Individual employee responses should not automatically be disclosed to the employer; organizations should generally receive appropriately aggregated results only. See Services: Organizational Wellbeing Assessment.
After the check
Would you like to speak with a mental health professional?
A score is a prompt, not an answer. If anything you have read here matched how you have been feeling, that is reason enough to start a conversation.
