In the past 2 weeks, how intense were palpitations, air hunger, or panic surges?



Q2: Low mood / anhedonia
How low is interest in usual activities or mood?



Q3: Insomnia from rumination
How disruptive is sleep from racing thoughts?



Q4: Work or self-care capacity
How much do symptoms delay work, finances, or childcare?

How much do you rely on sleep medicines, anxiolytics, or alcohol to sleep?

5. One-sided numbness, slurred speech, or facial droop for minutes without calling 1669

Part 3 — Urgent symptoms (not in the 15)

1. Thoughts of self-harm or a suicide plan

2. One-sided numbness, slurred speech, facial droop, or sudden limb weakness

3. Chest pain radiating to the arm, sweating, air hunger

Frequently asked questions

Does this score diagnose panic disorder?

No. It is a symptom-density index for how urgently to seek care or hotlines.

Must I finish the quiz before calling 1669 for one-sided numbness?

No. Weakness, slurred speech, or facial droop → call 1669 first always.

Nightly sleep meds with a low total — safe?

No. Self-medication is in item 5 and can be dangerous even if the total is not high.

If I also suspect reflux, which score?

You can do the GERD Severity Score too — different layer. Do not use acid reducers instead of evaluating heart symptoms.

What are Thailand hotlines?

Mental health 1323; medical emergency 1669.
