Special Note:
- Although the Stress Indicator and Health Planner is well-grounded in accepted medical research, the Stress Indicator should not be used as a substitute for medical diagnosis and the Health Planner should not be used for the self-treatment of any suspected illness. In the case of any suspected illness, you should see your doctor. If you have a concern, you can complete this assessment and take the results to your doctor. This will help you explain in greater detail any conditions you might have.
