“Screening for Depression & Anxiety?”
Hi, I wanted to know how one would go about getting screened for depression and or anxiety. For close to 2 years now I want to say that I've been experiences waves of sadness and hopelessness that seem too much to just say someone is being sad along with sporadic self-harm. I have not been officially diagnosed with anything nor have I received treatment.

You can screen yourself quite easily - just put depression screening into a Google search and you will get lots of tests you can take. More importantly, you might want to find a good therapist who could help you deal with any issues that may be influencing your life in a negative way. Finding someone who feels comfortable who gives you the sense that they understand you is the key ingredient.

Hello,
You have been suffering for two years. I am surprised that neither your family members nor your friends have encouraged you to seek help from a licensed psychologist. I would encourage you to contact one in your area ASAP. And in case you have not confided in your family about how you have been feeling for the last two years it is time for you to open up to them and request their help in finding a licensed psychologist in your area. The licensed psychologist will do whatever is necessary about screening and diagnosing. Do not put it off. There is help available in your area. So find it.
Take care and remain safe.
