K10

The Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10) is a psychological screening tool designed to identify adults with significant levels of psychological distress. It is widely used in Australia and often used in primary care settings to identify people with clinically significant psychological distress.

The K10 is a useful measure to track symptom progression during the course of treatment. The K10 is typically interpreted using a single total score of psychological distress, a broad concept characterised by unpleasant feelings or emotions that people may experience as overwhelming. Psychological distress is associated with a wide array of mental health concerns and diagnoses.
