Mental Health Tests

I used this app to test myself for everything they offer testing for I got high scores on almost everything so yea… I already knew that my mental state from 1-10 (1 being terrible mental health, 10 being awesome mental health) im a 1 or 1.5 so idk what to do but if my parents see this idk what I’m gunna do😭😭

The app is fine for a beginning point but not an ending point. If you believe you or someone else is suffering from some kind of disorder or addiction then taking a test or two on here won’t hurt but going in person to talk to some and receive an actual diagnosis may help more. Especially if you or someone you know can be little over dramatic or underestimate the problems you(they) are having. The referral questions are nice and can get the mind going but they seem pretty basic. I took some test for a few disorder that I know for a fact I DO NOT have just to test it out and some of the questions for these test do not pass the screening test. That is they can be sensitive, specific but they don’t protect against false negative or positive. These test also hold a few good assessment properties(they can be standardized and I believe they use comparison to that of a population.) But they don’t take into account cultural background and other factors that are just as important when diagnosing someone. I also believe the app can easily fool someone who suffers from hypochondria. I do like however that the app connects you to a professional if you do need help. And gives you a variety of questions when picking out a therapist. If the app could just work on the few things that I mentioned here I’d give it an A+ rating. I understand that it can be difficult but these things are important when giving out a clinical diagnosis or some people might be misdiagnosed or may practice may be performed. But I love the idea and think it is very meaningful towards bettering societies understanding of our mental health.

( I have been diagnosed) very basic, said I had moderate anxiety which just um no❤️, only asked 7 (again very basic) questions, the choices are (never, several days, over half of the days, nearly every day) which like several days should be more like a few days but that’s just me being nitpicky. There’s a lot better test I mean if you just google the symptoms (which this only asks questions that only have to do with not even like 1/4 of) and I don’t recommend self diagnosing but if you want a very basic idea this will do that, and it does give a basic rundown of multiple mental illnesses before you take the idk quiz? Test? I’d rate it more of a 2.5 but I can’t so...
