Keeping depression in check depends greatly on your ability to reevaluate and reinvent yourself constantly, along with focusing on all that is good.
The purpose of this tool is to highlight symptom reduction, by comparing previous and current scores. You can take advantage of this method, by using it to gain additional motivation for future efforts.
Last time you completed this questionnaire, we were at the beginning of our journey. Now we’re going to ask you to complete it once again, so that you can get an idea about your progress and the areas you currently need to focus on.
On a scale of 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest), rate each symptom based on current level of severity.
Fill in the previous scores for each symptom, the tool you completed at the beginning of the course.
Compare the current level of severity for each symptom with its corresponding previous score. Don’t forget to circle the items where you’ve succeeded, even if that success means a tiny improvement.
