All right so instructions below is a list of Questions that relate to life experiences common among people who have been diagnosed with depression Please read each question carefully and indicate how often you experience a symptom Oh, you experience the same or similar challenges in the past few months Your privacy is important to us all results are completely anonymous. Thanks. Psychom All right little interest or pleasure in doing things not at all several days more than half the days Nearly every day Several days Yeah, little yeah, okay Feeling down depressed or hopeless Like feeling down. Yeah, not depressed or hopeless really now several days Trouble falling or staying asleep or sleeping too much. Nope Like I don't get great sleep. That's partially because of sleep apnea, but not the depression thing. All right Feeling tired or having little energy Okay, okay. All right. So this this is like a weight slash apnea thing, but I'm working on it So I'll say more than half days just because I'm tired like constantly like a lot of you are like, how do you get work done so much and Caffeine. All right poor appetite or overeating You know, I don't really overeat that much Tristan, do I overeat? I'll put I'll put several days. I'll just put several days Feeling bad about yourself or that you are a failure or have to let yourself or have let yourself or your family down I'll say several days. Like I do struggle with some negative self-talk on occasion Trouble concentrating on things such as reading the newspaper or watching television Moving or speaking So slowly that other people could have noticed it's funny because I read that question pretty slowly But no not at all I used to know I say like back when I used to be super depressed all the time I used to like talk like you or like Okay All right thoughts that you would be better off dead or hurting or of hurting yourself. No, not at all If you have had if you've had any days with issues above how difficult have these problems Made it for you at work home school or with other people Not difficult but back like if I would have taken this like years ago when my life soaked And I was experiencing a lot of depression.
