Hi thanks for seeking help here. Your test results says that you are in the high-risk. Will help you out but I suggest you must do regular exercise and start therapy for depression. Medication certainly have a role but before coming to any conclusion I would like to have a chat with you. You can consult with me here in Practo or visit a psychiatrist nearby understand you must know exercise is a anti-depressant
Hi . These tests would give you a vague idea what to look for in depression.
But clinically speaking to a psychiatrist would give you a better picture as it would be a professional assessment. These scales and it's scores only complement the clinical diagnosis and to see how the scores are improving while on treatment.
Next Steps
Better to consult a psychiatrist in person or tele consult and get a clear idea.
Hello Mr.
Good morning.
I saw ur " attached pictures ". Being a
Psychiatrist ,it's my duty to inform you and all
individuals who willing to seek any Psychiatrist
help,that this "online scores " for assessing ur
MOOD is baseless.
Why it is Baseless ??
It is baseless because it has no use and
relevance in psychiatric case .The scale that you
have attached shows the severity of Depression.
This scale is "only " used after a Person is "
diagnosed" as Depression .
Your Diagnosis of depression is invalid bcoz a
diagnosis of depression needs a sincere
evaluation , discussion & assessment by
particularly a, Psychiatrist or Neuropsychiatrist.
Any other sources or health professionals apart
from Psychiatrist if diagnosing u depression will
a grave mistake.
Even if you have diagonsed by Psychiatrist as
Depression, then also these online scale for
measuring of depression is unreliable ,
inadequate and wastage of time. Bcoz software
can take ur subjective response but in
Psychiatry the objective ,fascial ,voice ,gesture
response is more important than subjective
response ,so the use of online scales for
different Psychiatric illness will confuse you and
will scare you.
So, don't be panic and don't take seriously
these scores . I tried to address an important
issue that many persons commonly faces . I
hope u understood my concern towards you
and other individuals.
Next Steps
Yes, Online consultation and treatment is
absolutely possible ,Just choose ur Psychiatrist
or Neuropsychiatrist of ur choice , go for icon "
video consultation " that includes chat, audio
and video talk ,it depends upon you what you
prefer.
Next step
Consult a Psychiatrist or Neuropsychiatrist, Give
ur details history of personal, family, social,
professional life. Get assessed ur psychosocial
stressors & personality. Allow Psychiatrist to
perform Mental state examination upon you .
After following all these , if ur Psychiatrist and
you feels to start or manage ur condition then
you can go for therapy or Medicines or both
depending upon ur diagnosis and it's severity.
