seems you’ve gotten to a good place with your health… congreats… i assume not ill means remission?
I scored a 50…lower on positive and negative symptoms and higher on general psychopathology. This is definitely an improvement over how i was in November coming out of the hospital. The Cobenfy must be working, then.
Edit: it said “not ill”
Remission for now I guess. I hope I stay well. During psychosis I probably have a super high score.
true dude, praying for your health as well! all of ours really. There people here who have been stable for over a decade so its a real possibility.
I got confused 
idk how to do this
and also, idk why they use the most complex wordings, its like they are deliberately trying to trip us up, its hard to answer if i dont understand the questions,

@shutterbug i got 89 as well, did yours say moderately ill on it? i think we answered questions differently.
@John_Raven that’s a very high score, i did it twice just to make sure it was correct as the first time i messed it up i think.
@anon49368487 that’s a great score, well done, sounds like you are doing pretty good according to this test.
I still think i can do the support group although i am worried about it, i am very careful about my illness, i hide it very well and if i had any hiccups then i can say to the boss and take a break, I’m going to treat the support group as a trial atm i think.
Yup same here. I was just too lazy to screenshot the whole thing. Darn those negative symptoms.
I scored 66 so, I guess that’s mildly ill with treatment.
Man, I’m so sorry. That’s awful. I hope everyones symptoms improve with time.
Also I think it should be answered based on how you were while in psychosis, on treatment some don’t even have symptoms
Yeah, I used to go catatonic. Good luck with that.
Its weird bc if i was to take this to my current psyche dr he would have a melt down lol, he is convinced i have a personality disorder.
I think i got some of these questions wring man. I think I’d need a medical professional to help me with it.
I am amused at being called moderately ill. Truthfully, I feel like I’m in an okay headspace. Yeah, I’ve got positive and negatives, but my insight is good and I can get moving when I need to.
That’s okay!
