Emotional Dysregulation Quiz

This questionnaire will help you explore your emotions and how they affect you in your daily life. Your responses can provide insight and information about your emotional reactions in relationships and your ability to tolerate high levels of emotions. You may also discuss your results with your therapist to help you deal more effectively with emotional issues in your life.

Note: This questionnaire is for informational purposes only and is not intended to function as a psychological or psychiatric assessment. These results are not a clinical diagnosis. Diagnosis of a psychiatric disorder requires an extensive evaluation by a trained professional. This quiz is for self-reflection and not a diagnostic tool. It’s essential to consult with a mental health professional for a comprehensive assessment and appropriate support.
