Idk though, after a traumatic event i went thru, my doctor reffered me to a whatever-chologist, and she gave me a test to see if i had clinical depression...
And all she did was basically she asked about my life growing up as a child... And then asked me a series of questions, and it was seriously basically like this...
1. Do you think you are depressed? -i dont know, i thought you were supposed to tell me that.
2. Have you thought about suicide? -Uhh yea, ive thooought about it...i think everyone thinks about it at least once.
3. Okayy, i meant have you ever seriously contemplated suicide? -no.
4. On a day to day basis, how often do you think about suicide? -zero
5. Do you think suicide is good? -No.
Basically, all this bitch did was ask me the same question 878 times, and pretty much it was like "if youre not suicidal then youre not depressed".
And i was thinking damn, i might not have it myself, but im pretty sure its possible for a non-suicidal person to have the condition of depression lol.
