Take a few other tests and see how many things you DONT come away with.... generally helps to put things in perspective

What LJ said. Your professional would've/should've picked up on it, and if they didn't... then it's clearly not a major issue for you even if you do have it

....plus... not every mental disorder/condition requires professional intervention. Oftentimes sufferers figure out their own way forward quite successfully. And (sadly) not every person needing a little help checks all the boxes for an official diagnosis. Sadly because insurance often won't cover help without a diagnosis code.

If you feel you're drowning, please ask for a lifebelt. It doesn't matter if you snuck in over the wall rather than signing in at the desk, or if the one who throws the belt is just another patron, not the lifeguard on duty -as long as you are able to get back to the side, that's all that matters. No-one wants to find you floating face-down

Every time I take one of those multiple choice tests, whether it's for political persuasion, or best matched soap, the answers I would give if the asked the question never match the choice of answers they give me to choose from. That forces me into a slot I'm not entirely comfortable with.

If you want to say you have a disease to get out of doing something or going somewhere, but are not comfortable lying. Just read the symptoms for Lyme disease, I guarantee you'll have 'em. You just can't know without serious professional testing, for any condition, physical or mental.

This is America, damn it, you're mentally stable until proven nuts.
