Health assessment?

I hope this is the right place for this post I wasn't too sure 😅

Anyway, has someone tried the health assessment? It's on the member dash... a set of 5 or so questions about how you feel and stuff.

I don't know how different it might be from the monthly evaluation for wellbeing we see in our notifications

whenever I try the health assessment, I get a certain percentage for depression and anxiety :')

I was wondering about how accurate the result from this is?

And are the topics pre included in it? Is there nothing else one could get in results beside "depression" and "anxiety"? 😮

@Optimisticempath As far as I know it's called the PHQ-4. It's a population screening test for depression and anxiety but nothing else. It's a cut down version of the wellness test, which combines the PHQ-9 and GAD-7 tests.

Obviously it's completely accurate in the sense that the results are based on exactly what you tell it. However, interpreting individual results is very inaccurate because it's a population screening test, not an individual diagnostic test. This means your individual percentage for depression and anxiety might have no clinical significance.

@RarelyCharlie you're always quick to help thankyou 💕

That makes more sense now ... I just hope this wasn't a forceful thing with the repetitive notifications and in the profile page while scrolling so often ...it doesn't seem to do any good or any that I'm able to notice. 😅

@SilverMistakes I hope you got the clarification somewhat also? :) thanks for making me feel less alone with it!
