Because Mental Health isn't visible, it can be challenging to explain to other people how we are feeling
We regularly do the quizzes below, just to calibrate our own health
Feel free to pop back as often as you like, and take as many as you feel drawn to at the time
There are some quizzes here that may seem irrelevant, but in this post-lockdown world, during a pandemic, it's important that we try and identify the source of our unease as specifically as possible
If you have been a front line worker during COVID-19, or are an NHS, Care or Emergency Service worker, it is particularly important to take the PTSD quiz (and follow any guidance to seek help), given the trauma of recent events and the toll it is taking on so many
We take the results of these tests to our GP appointments. It helps bridge the gap between unseen illness and any possible reluctance to navel-gaze in front of people, especially when we don't feel in the right headspace to communicate
Knowledge of ourselves brings power back to us
