I had a psych assessment this week.

The minimum PCL5 score indicating that someone has difficulties dealing with past traumatic events which "would benefit from psychological support" is 33 (out of a maximum of 80). I scored 59.

My PHQ9 score was 20 and my GAD7 score was 19, "indicating severe symptoms of depression and anxiety." The PHQ9 score is enough to trigger a recommendation of immediate treatment.

There I was, thinking I was "just a bit down"...
