How is stress diagnosed?

Stress is subjective — not measurable with tests. Only the person experiencing it can determine whether it's present and how severe it feels.

A healthcare provider may use questionnaires to understand your stress and how it affects your life.

If you have chronic stress, your doctor can evaluate symptoms that result from stress. For example, high blood pressure can be diagnosed and treated.
