- What this is: a wellbeing screen — five positively-worded statements about how you've felt over the last two weeks. Low scores are a common reason to look closer at mood, energy, or sleep.
- What this is not: a diagnosis. Many things — short-term stress, recent loss, physical illness, medications — can produce a low WHO-5. A clinician's read is the next step.
