> Is the Babbleometer just for depression?
Bob currently has 4 online tests in the Babbleometer section. Only the CES-D is for depression; that's the one I was posting about.
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/ometer/My scores on the others:
•SF-36 (health-related quality of life): Variable scales; my worst was Social Function (36/100); others were 48-95 out of 100 (better).
•SRRS (recent life stresses): 177 arbitrarily-weighted stressful events points (out of 800 possible?)
•MOS (measure of social support): 21/100 (not great)So, I need more IRL social support! It's good for me to see that presented so (to me) starkly.
I argued 2 years ago that providing these scales with virtually no explanation would often end up counterproductive; I still feel that way. http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/admin/20040902/msgs/388790.html

Thanks for telling me. I seem a little less "mysterious"? ;-)
> Do you think that is a cause or an effect?
Effect, effect, effect. Of buprenorphine. And Toronto. And self-therapy; but the decisive factor is finding appropriate dosing for the bupe.
