I was slightly surprised and kind of caught of guard by my results. The results showed 7 areas of concern, stating I should seek treatment, advice or whatever. They are:

Depression: 75 ( already aware of this fact since stopping meds about 6 months ago...)

Anxiety: 78
Dissociation: 67
General Coping: 54
Mania: 55
Obsessions/Compulsions: 63
Borderline Traits: 58

Other areas of concern included:

Life Events: 41
Phobias: 42
Self Esteem: 50
Sexual Issues: 25
Physical Issues: 33
Smoking :38
Technology Issues: 44

What surprised me were the scores for anxiety, dissociation, borderline traits, and mania. It does make sense though. The scores and explanations do help with my trying to figure out why I lose track of time so easily, am constantly smoking, and feelings i have of either being trapped in my body or feeling like i'm 'outside" of my body, watching things happen.

I really don't think i have technology issues or smoking issues. I like smoking and I like the internet and etc. I don't have a social life for technological things to have an effect on.

I guess the score makes sense, especially after my doc told me last week he thinks i may be bipolar. He did state he couldn't be sure without an eval, but it makes sense now.

There were 1 or 2 things I didn't like about the test. I thought that the questions regarding children, significant others and whatnot should've had answers for those of us who don't have children and are not married. I did send my opinion in regarding that though.
