I hate the scale thing, and have to fill it out each visit to the pdoc. They seem to think it doesn't matter how a person defines each level because, to their thinking, the individual definition or way things are measured is constant....that the change from that base level is what matters. However, they don't take into account that the base for some people shifts. My assessment of "one" or "seldom" is going to differ each time. So, a "mostly" one week can be a "seldom" the next week, depending on how I'm viewing and assessing myself. It's utterly meaningless. I usually just randomly pick things.

I agree with stopdog. You have time to make a decision. One month is not long to wait for a first appt., unless you are seeing a therapist in private practice.
