Hmmm.

I understand that this is just a general indication and is not a diagnosis... but some of the indicators that come up can be a little eyebrow raising.

Been diagnosed with depression previously but I got '9 serious areas of concern' and '3 milder ones' on the test... meh.

How serious should we take this stuff and would a T or Dr laugh at you if you showed the results to them? Or just completely discount it?

I don't think a therapist would laugh. The questions are kinda "problems" written in question/definition form. For example "I sometimes look in the mirror and think I am ugly" = low self-steem. I recently filled out tons and tons of these kinds of questions in regards to my son (who was diagnosed with autism officially a few weeks ago).
