*** These tests are for screening purposes only. They are designed to give a preliminary indication psychopathologic status and personality functioning. Though they may help increase your awareness of particular experiences or of particular forms of psychological distress, they are not, by themselves, tools for diagnosing any type of health or mental health condition. Online tests do not replace an evaluation by a trained psychiatrist such as Dr. Pundy.
If you are suicidal, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
