Psychological Self-Assessment Series - Part 1

 

Image credit Psychology Today

This is the first episode of 2021, the first in a new series, and the first since March 2019.  Yes, it has been a while.  This episode continues from the previous episode, First Call.  I began to set appointments with my medical team. The first I met with was with the Behavioral Health Specialist. I had to take a self-assessment which is what this series will cover.  I will be referring to an assessment form similar to what my specialist and I went over.
