Online Tests
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

Really curious as to people's thoughts on online tests?
I know it can't be used an actually diagnosis, but are they a good indicator?

I did 5 different personality disorder quizzes on different mental health websites, they all said severe borderline personality disorder...is this worth talking to my doctor about or will I just sound like a paranoid hypochondriac?

never been assessed with my depression just was told by doctors I had it and ptsd. I personally wouldn't do these online things as these could be made up by anyone and mental illness cannot be assessed without a medically trained person. Online questionnaires or surveys can be done by anyone to find out personal information. This could get into wrong hands leaving you vulnerable so unless it's been recommended by your doctors or health workers don't do them as there are a lot of crooks that would use your info for wrongful things. Stay safe everyone.

A lot of deep breathing from the belly. Plus doing visualization using a place I feel safe at or like. Anxiety is horrible

It would be good to talk to a professional about what you have been reading and what it says. If you are not satisfied I would seek out a second opinion. Better to be safe than sorry. Best of luck my dear friend xoxo
