The "Do I Need Therapy" Test (taken from Psychology Today)

First of all... here is the test.

I've done this test about a billion times before, but, in my opinion, this is probably the most accurately I've ever answered it, so this is probably the most valid score. At least, it seemed to ring pretty true to me when I read it. I thought I'd post the answers for y'all to see, if you're interested... and if you're not, well, I am. :P


Although your scores were generally quite good, you scored well outside the normal range in at least one category. This suggests that you should probably consult with a mental health professional for further testing or treatment. There is most certainly a professional out there who can help improve the symptoms you are experiencing.

The following are the areas of concern detected by the screening:

• Your symptoms point to Major Depressive Disorder.


• You appear to be suffering from Bulimia.


• Your responses strongly indicate that you suffer from Borderline Personality Disorder.

The test also detected symptoms of one or more disorders that did not meet all the criteria, but that may still merit treatment.

The following are the areas of concern detected by the screening:

• You experience some symptoms of substance dependence. (only because I said that I binge drink when I drink, which is true.)


• You have experienced symptoms of a manic episode.


• Although you meet the criteria for the frequency of symptoms, your symptoms do not appear to be severe enough to meet the criteria for Bipolar disorder.


• You meet the criteria for the frequency of symptoms of Rapid Cycling Bipolar Disorder, but your symptoms do not appear to be severe enough to meet the criteria.


• You experience some symptoms of Simple Phobia.


• You experience some symptoms of Generalized Anxiety Disorder.


• You appear to suffer from some symptoms of Dependent Personality disorder.

Yeah, that all sounds like me.
