If your score is over 15 you need to seek ways to alleviate your stress levels.
You can try meditation, walking in the fresh air, or breathing exercises.
If your score is over 22 you may need help.
If you ignore high stress levels you are leaving yourself wide open to Stroke, Heart Attacks and other medical conditions which are associated with stress.
Therefore, it makes sense to see a professional for help.
