See what insights you'll discover from this assessment
In the past two weeks, you have exhibited noticeable symptoms of depression.
When facing life's various pressures and challenges, you may feel overwhelmed and tense, significantly impacting your daily life. It's possible that recent stressors from academics, work, social interactions, or other aspects have contributed to these feelings. These pressures may affect different aspects of your life, such as deteriorating sleep quality and reduced energy levels. They can also lead to mental fatigue, disrupting the rhythm of your daily life, causing difficulties in concentration, and even a decline in memory, subsequently affecting your performance in daily work or academics, creating a vicious cycle.
Extreme and fluctuating emotions may further worsen your relationships with others, making it challenging for people to feel close to you. Your emotional distress could lead to increasingly negative thoughts, potentially causing feelings of despair. Persistent low mood can diminish your motivation for activities you used to enjoy, and you might find yourself indifferent or lethargic toward many aspects of life. On the other hand, you may perceive a misalignment between your current life situation and your aspirations.
In challenging times, occasional feelings of distress and stress are understandable. We strongly encourage you to continuously monitor your mental and emotional well-being and cultivate habits of self-care. Provide yourself with regular opportunities to engage in activities you enjoy, such as reading a book or listening to music during leisure time. Regular exercise is beneficial in reducing depressive symptoms, and even a simple outdoor walk can help you relax. Mindfulness is also a common approach to dealing with depression; by focusing on the present moment, you can momentarily detach from troubling past events and worrisome future concerns, allowing yourself to experience your current emotions and bodily sensations. If needed, we encourage you to reach out to trusted friends, family, or even professionals for assistance. Sharing your feelings and concerns with them can be beneficial.
We recommend that you fill out the PHQ-9 questionnaire every two weeks to monitor any changes in your depressive symptoms.
