about mental health so if you're into improving your mental and emotional
well-being make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell so yeah for
all of my loyal subscribers out there setup looks a little bit different cuz
what we are doing today I'm gonna try to keep it short and sweet we are going to
be taking a 3 minute depression test from psycom.net alright and what we're
gonna be doing we are going to be doing a challenge for the next two weeks this
is a collaboration with my mom dr. Carrie Randazzo and I want all of you to
take this test I'm gonna link it down below and we're gonna compare it now to
where we're at in two weeks all right so I will link this down in the description
below but let's get started all right so instructions below is a
list of questions that relate to life experiences common among people who have
been diagnosed with depression please read each question carefully and
indicate how often you experience the symptom oh you experienced the same or
similar challenges in the past few months your privacy is important to us
all results are completely anonymous thanks sicom alright little interest or
pleasure in doing things not at all several days more than half the days
nearly every day several days okay feeling down depressed or hopeless like
feeling down yeah not depressed or hopeless really er now several days um
trouble falling or staying asleep or sleeping too much nope I I don't get
great sleep they asked partially because of sleep apnea but not the depression
thing alright feeling tired or having little energy
okay okay alright so this this is this is like a weight / apnea thing but I'm
working on it so I'll say more than half days just because I'm tired like
constantly like a lot of you were like how do you get work done so much
caffeine alright poor appetite or overeating you know I don't really / -
eat that much Tristan do I overeat I'll put up with
several days I'll just put several days feeling bad about yourself or that you
are a failure or have to let yourself or have let yourself or your family down
I'll say several days like I do struggle with some negative self-talk on occasion
trouble concentrating on things such as reading the newspaper or watching
television yeah moving or speaking so slowly that other people could have
noticed it's funny cuz I read that question pretty slowly yeah but no not
about I used to though I say like back when I used to be super depressed all
the time I used to like talk like you're like okay hmm
alright thoughts that you would be better off dead or hurting or of hurting
yourself no not at all if you've had if you've
had any days with issues above how difficult have these problems made it
for you at work home school or with other people not difficult but like if I
would have taken this like years ago when my life's soaked and I was
experiencing a lot of depression these answers would have been much much
different so let's enter this to let him know that I am human okay the email
rewired soul you guys can see this it's on my about page if you guys ever want
to email me so I could check a number you guys are email me that whenever you
want submit alright so I took that depression test let's see what's poppin
does it give me like a score let's see what happens your score alright
your your answers suggest wait what is this no I don't want to receive mild
depression your answer suggests you're suffering from mild depression consider
watchful waiting and testing again normally within two weeks that's the
next part consider offering one or more low intensity psychosocial interventions
we recommend you schedule an appointment with your doctor if you need help
finding a mental health professional we suggest that you reach out to Nami Nami
is another great resource National Association of mental illness I believe
but yeah my channel is also supported by better help if you want to try online
therapy but if you have an insurance provider call up your insurance see what
therapists are within your network or talk to your doctor see if they can
recommend to anybody I do need to make some more videos on how to find the
right therapist and Booya let's say we're keeping this right around five
minutes but anyways like I said this is a collaboration with my mom so there are
studies out there that discuss how gratitude something as simple as keeping
a gratitude journal can help decrease symptoms of depression so what we're all
gonna do we're gonna do a two-week gratitude challenge and you'll see how
easy it is when you go check the video my mom and I did I'm gonna make it up in
the info card down in the description as well as in the pin comment so I'm gonna
save this so that's my little thing that I used to take screenshots I'm gonna
save this and I want all of you to save this as well now head over to my mom's
Channel watch that video we're gonna do this thing together and in two weeks
we're gonna see if this is true if practicing some gratitude for two weeks
can actually decrease symptoms of depression all right but anyways thank
you so so much for watching give this video a thumbs up thanks to all of my
lovely patrons out there you are all amazing and if you're not yet make sure
you subscribe and bring that notification bell because I'll make a
ton of videos all about mental health alright thanks again for watching I'll
