Main description:

We live in challenging times. According to a recently published study in Psychological Medicine, depression and mental health disorders are on an upswing, as are our rates of suicide, opioid addiction and mass gun violence. All of this is taking a toll on the American economy. It's estimated that serious mental illness alone costs the United States $193.2 billion in lost earnings per year.

It's clear we're collectively struggling. Rising healthcare costs, lack of mental health coverage, feeling pressure to work longer days, and social and cultural isolation -- many Americans don't feel like they have the time or resources to seek professional help. This leaves people feeling alone (and in a perpetual cycle of un-wellness), even though many of us are suffering with similar problems. What can be done?

Test Your Self: Evaluate Your Mental Health and Reclaim Your Right to Unlimited Joy is a reimagined book inspired by the bestseller Test Your Own Mental Health that sold in excess of 250,000 copies. Covering a range of mental illnesses, we've compiled over 30 scientifically proven mental health self-assessments and personality exams with several chapters dedicated to psycho-education. This edition is a unique, timely and invaluable diagnostic tool for individuals, families, educational institutions, communities and corporate organizations to gauge their mental health during stressful transitions or spot the signs of addiction or mental illness in others.

Today's version, which you're reading, is greatly enhanced through the contributions of nationally recognized psychotherapist Nell Daly. Not only does she add a feminine voice to balance the male perspective of William Gladstone, she has added references and explanations that give a broader context to how you can best use this book gleaned from her 15+ years and over 20,000 hours of experience in private practice treating patients.
