For the self-assessment assignment, I chose to take the Depression Self Test from www.blackdoginstitute.org.au. The test about the last two weeks of my life as compared to my daily life stated it should not be used to replace professional help, but be an assistance to me. During the test, I was informed to mark one of the following that correlates most accurately to my situation: Not true, Slightly true, Moderately true, Very True. The questions related to my emotional and physical reactions; for example, I was asked if I felt happy and depressed and if I was alert and restless. Afterwards, I was given a score and additional information, such as monitoring my depression progress with a chart, getting help online, and taking care of myself.
