Common questions
What is the WHO-5?
The WHO-5 — the WHO-5 Well-Being Index — is a short 5-question wellbeing test from the World Health Organization. It measures how you have been feeling over the last two weeks and gives a score from 0 to 100. People also search for it as the WHO5 quiz or WHO-5 wellbeing test.
Is the WHO-5 a diagnosis?
No. It’s a screening tool that measures current wellbeing. Low scores suggest it’s worth a closer look — not a diagnosis. Only a licensed clinician can diagnose a mental health condition.
What does my score mean?
Scores run 0–100. 51 and above suggests good wellbeing; 29–50 suggests low wellbeing; 28 or below suggests very low wellbeing and is a nudge to check in with a professional.
My score is low. What should I do?
Start with the PHQ-9 depression check for a closer look, and consider talking with a therapist or your doctor. Low wellbeing is common and very workable — you don’t have to wait until things get worse.
