Psychologists and psychiatrists typically evaluate me as having active stressors, and so exonerate me from depression and anxiety, and regard gender dysphoria as a confound of less refined evaluations of self-esteem. While I do have traumatic life events in my past, I've recovered from them, and so PTSD doesn't seem accurate, either. |
All that said, I am seeking a way to demonstrate the absence of delusions, paranoia, and pathological lying, so surveys such as this may not be that helpful, as they rely on self-reporting.

Cruelty has a human heart,

The human form a fiery forge,
The human face a furnace sealed,
The human heart its hungry gorge.
