I’ve been seeing this counselor for a while now and last session she mentioned something about me having "depressive symptoms". Anyway in todays session she gave me one of those, depression/anxiety tests where you circle 0-3 to how much each statement applies to you.
I scored REALLY highly on that test. Like WAY up there. Except it is exam week at my school for my grade at the moment. So… when she calculated my score she looked at it and said, "Perhaps we’ll do another one after exams… yeh it wouldn’t be helpful to map this on the graph" ‘Cause if she did she knew it would have stressed me out to see how high everything was!!
Then on the official score sheet she mumbled something as she was writing to herself that was like, "outside followup/referrals not required at this point" THEN she began talking to me about how antidepressant medication wasn’t used for under 18s.
ANYWAY my question is.. I’m pretty sure that even after exams most of my answers will be the same, giving me the same result. Just wondering what she is most likely to do then. Cause I’m slightly paranoid at this point!!
Ok…dont worry you need to be honest and she wil give you confidential help if you need it.
And they do prescribe anti depressants to under 18’s im on them and im 16…my bf was on them when he was 16/17 so dont worry
Goo luck

Get a life and stop worrying more about stupid depression questionnaire than your exams. If you think you’re going to do the same on the test after exams, then you probably will - since obviously you are planning to fill it out the same way. Stop fussing over yourself and enjoy your youth because when you get older you’ll realize that you wasted it trying to get high scores on depression quizzes for attention. Pathetic.
