I'm sorry, but I suffer from server depression (got a 67!), and I too have exams after Christmas, and I too face an uncertain future in higher education - but I've had far worse things happen in life than being 'denied' university education! If thats the most of your problems, then I am very surprised your score was as high a 10!Trivun said:I took the test and scored a 10, which is apparently borderline between 'very slightly depressed' and 'not depressed at all'. The only things I'm worried about right now are the exams I have after Christmas, which I'll probably do really badly in, and the current government's cuts and stupid idiotic approach to higher education. UK here, by the way.
Who is advocating accepting the results of the quiz in lieu of professional consultation?Monkfish Acc. said:Oh my, yes, let's take an internet test as a professional diagnosis. This is such an excellent fucking idea.
Ugh. Fuck it. I'll give it a go.
Oh, would you look at that. Sixty six. Through a series of vague, bullshitty, melodramatic questions that EVERYONE will only choose extremes on, I have determined I am really fucking sad guys.
Better go commit myself, clearly I am seconds away from suicide. Quick, remove all sharp objects from my immediate vicinity.
OH SHIT TOO LATE AUGH AGH OH NO OH I'M KILLING MYSELF OH this is ridiculously fucking stupid.
Every result claims you are depressed. The only way not to be depressed with this fucking test is to be so obscenely saccharine and cheery you make everyone else nauseous and a little bit freaked out.
No, not literally. However, it is the case that psychiatric illness is generally a matter of degree. For example, it is normal to wash one's hands before eating. However, it is rather abnormal for one to wash his or hands in excess of 50 times each day. Such excess might suggest obsessive-compulsive disorder or a specific phobia.CrashBang said:16... possibly minor depression. That's ridiculous, there isn't a depression-o-meter. Scoring 16 means I occasionally get upset or angry about stuff like everyone else on the planet. This test just turns people into hypochondriacs
That is a bit odd. Such a thing would be more appropriate for detecting alexithymia.Bobic said:74! I am king of being depressed.
Also I love how one of the questions was do you feel depressed.
