Serious concerns: life events and self-esteem
Minor concerns: depression, anxiety, PTSD, eating disorder, smoking, borderline, physical issues

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.
