High Sanity Score

After getting out of the psych ward I got a sanity score of 148. Is that bad... am I that insane? I have schizoaffective with panic and anxiety.

I just copied this for you from the introduction to this test. It seems that you really do have distress in your life but the test is not intended to freak us out..Here is what I copied:

Your overall score is the least important thing of this test (and the least scientific at present).

Overall scores above 150 are of the greatest concern, as it suggests you have a lot of distress in your life related to more than one mental health issue.

Scores between 100 and 150 may suggest some mental health concerns, but whether they cause distress or not is not clear. If something isn't causing you distress, it's likely not a problem nor something you necessarily need treatment for.

Scores less than 100 don't mean anything in particular -- just that you're a pretty healthy, normal individual with some issues from time to time.

What's a "major" concern? What's a "minor" concern?

These concerns are the most important take-away of the test.

A major concern is something the test identified as something you'd likely or possibly meet the diagnostic criteria for a disorder related to that concern.

A minor concern is something the test identified as something that may be an issue in your life, but doesn't likely rise to an actual disorder or diagnosis.

Are high numbers bad? Are low numbers bad?

Higher/lower numbers don't mean anything except in relationship to the average score of 100. Lower than 100 doesn't mean you're "more" sane, just that you don't have any serious mental health issues in your life at present.

Higher scores above 100 suggest you may have a number of issues that could become a problem if not addressed.

Higher scores above 150 suggest you likely have a number of mental health issues causing you distress in your life that should be treated.

You can have a single significant issue, but still score low overall. The key takeaway from such a situation is the significant issue (not your overall score).

Remember, your overall score is the least important aspect of this test. The most important aspect are the issues identified as "major" and, to a lesser extent, "minor."

Am I messed up/insane/crazy?

No, the test won't answer those questions. But aren't we all to some degree anyway?

first week in november i went off my meds and was wandering the neighborhood. a few days later the cops came and took me to the ER i was almost dying. then a two week stay in the psych ward. I had blurry vision, needed a walker to get around as everything was spinning. I had bruises all over my body (probably from falling down a lot) and slept for two days straight before i could attend groups. now i'm a lot better and on better meds. now the thing is not to abuse my meds. i've done that in the past either i take them too much or don't bother to take them. when i take the prescribed amount i'm pretty much normal and can go out (no agoraphobia or anxiety). i'm still pretty messed up and on paltalk all night and no sleep for days on end. hopefully i can get a grip on reality and get right.

Aren't we all strange?
If our meds work...we should always take them but we dont!
