title: The stress profile.
abstract: The Stress Profile consists of a number of questionnaires which have been developed to assess the severity of stress in nine areas of life: social habits, social relationships, life events, sexual problems, sleep, psychiatric symptoms, old age, menstrual stresses, and 'stress and the heart'. The questionnaires have been validated for inter-rater reliability and against the Hamilton anxiety and depression rating scales. Using the Profile, the inter-relationships between different stress areas can be assessed, appropriate treatments advised, and the response to treatment in relation to different components evaluated.
