Help
I need guidance about how can I get a test for my mental health problems?
I am an Indian facing this from years but didn’t know what it is, so it is worse now. After reading about mental health and the problems, I got that I have symptoms of severe depression and anxiety and maybe more, I can’t ignore anymore now. Any online test I can get? or what do I have to do?
Please guide me if you know something about it.
Im so sorry you have to face this especially during this covid season. It must be really hard that you’ve been struggling with it for years. I have a friend who’s been fighting with depression. So i would highly encourage you to find any psychiatrist because only them can diagnose your mental health conditions and what approach should you take. In the mean time, you can try talk to any counselors that provide platform for people to express what ever comes in mind. I really hope that you can live a happy and free from anxiety life very soon! 💙💙💙
You are absolutely right, but just one thing should be changed. The advise should be that the person consults a psychologist not a psychiatrist. Both are different. Majorly psychiatric treatment involves medications and psychological treatment involves therapy. I’ve done the same mistake and don’t want someone else to do the same.
Thanks buddy!!💛
I was holding on, but now I think I should seek professional help.
Good day ✨
Trust me you should it’ll help. Just don’t start any medication until absolutely necessary.
Okay, so should I reach out to psychologist?
Yes, try a psychologist with good experience. And if you need someone to talk about it, I’m here.
Hello buddy,
You should reach out to a psychologist first. You can find them on Tata health, Apollo 24/7 etc. You will need to pay money to them for each session. Tell them whatever issues you have. They will ask you about your family, current status, eating habits, sleeping schedule etc. If needed, they will also do some diagnostic tests if they suspect depression or any other mental ailment. They will listen to you patiently and will do activities with you as per your results. They will also tell if you need to go to a psychiatrist for medications. Overall, it will be very helpful for you. Asking for help is the toughest decision, rest is easy after that. You have made it. Congrats for it. Tell them your issues like you tell a physician when you have a fever or cold.
All the best🤗
I did asked but I am very scared to have a talk with them now, even searching for them is making me anxious and can’t make myself to fill the form or call them… um idk why what I am feeling this…
But I appreciate your response, Thanks buddy

Hi dude, I can understand this anxiety as I myself went through it. I am an introvert and was scared very much to answer a call. But you have to be over your fear sometimes to see the beauty on the other side. You only need to make an account on tata health or apollo. No need to fill any form. You can just book a slot there and they will call u at that time. They are very understanding and will make you very comfortable.
It is understandable to have anxiety regarding this, but it will be only a one-time episode as by the next session you will be like a friend to them.
It is better to be anxious one time and beat our mental issues for a lifetime. As we ignore it, our moderate depression manifests into a severe one and our treatment takes a longer route.
Thanks a lot for the helpful speech!!✨🖤
