I have just received my test results, and the NHS has said that I have 'low self esteem and obsessive ruminations' and have sent me a pack on how to get over self esteem issues.

The NHS websites use the term 'low self esteem' as a symptom. I'm so confused. I don't understand.

They said that 'further structured assessments are required are required' and it's just making me wonder if they don't have enough information and they just are telling me they found a symptom.

This isn't the first time the NHS have angered me or confused me. It's getting to the point where I don't ever want to get sick so then I don't have to encounter the NHS.

So can anyone explain how I can be diagnosed with what seems like a symptom and according to this pack they've gave me has most of the symptoms of depression...
