Questions people ask

Can this test tell me if I have depression or anxiety?

No; a clinician assesses depression or anxiety using your history and other relevant information.

What does the result actually show?

Five pattern cards, each showing how prominent that pattern was in your answers on its own scale.

Are my answers stored or sent anywhere?

No. The result is calculated in this browser tab. Answers and result text are never sent as analytics properties and are never written to browser storage.

What should I do if the result worries me?

Write down three recent examples with dates and take them to a doctor. If you feel unsafe or are thinking about harming yourself, contact a crisis line now rather than taking another test.
