depression test
(17 Messages)
I seem to be avoiding sleep. so I took a on-line depression test. I scored a 53 which puts me in the moderate/severe group. a score of 54 would have put me in the severe group.

You may walk on eggshells around your child with oppositional defiant disorder, not knowing what may trigger a tantrum or argument. While this is one of the most difficult of behavioral disorders, setting firm boundaries with consistent consequences plus a commitment to improving your relationship with your child can help your family overcome the dominating grip that oppositional defiant disorder may have on your household.
Children With Oppositional Defiant Disorder | American Academy of Children With Oppositional Defiant Disorder No. 72; Updated December 1999 All children are oppositional from time to time, particularly when tired, hungry, stressed or upset.
