SCORING: To score this quiz, add up the points from each answer you selected.

Under 20:  means you're doing pretty well with coping with your chronic illness and/or you do not consider your illness to negatively affect your life very often. 

A score between 20-40 indicates you are somewhat able to cope with your chronic illness but you could probably use some more support in your life, as well as develop more coping tools to help you manage your illness, your relationships, and your overall emotional well-being.

A score of 40 or higher indicates you may be suffering from anxiety and/or depression due to your chronic illness, which unfortunately can be very common.  You may have a very difficult time engaging in activities, accomplishing your goals, or maintaining your relationships in your life due to being ill so much of the time.
