Results are categorized into four levels based on your total score: Minimal (healthy relationship with calls), Mild to Moderate (common discomfort), Moderate to Severe (significant impact on daily life), and Severe (major impairment requiring support). Higher scores suggest greater benefit from professional help or practical tools.
