Changes in circumstances can be stressful and this stress can impact general health and well-being. Mark each event of the Holmes and Rahe Stress Scale that has occurred to you in the past one year. A total score of less than 150 indicates a low risk of stress-related illness, a score of between 151-299 indicates a moderate risk of stress-related illness, and a score of 150 or greater suggests that you are at significant risk of illness due to the stress in your life.
