While there are many tools within a clinical environment to test and review
cases, we have offered this small evaluation as a guideline to assist
with looking at this treatable disorder. At times life seems to throw us curves,
some we are not always ready to handle and we all need a little
help now and then.
You are not alone, seek help through family, church, friends, or a healthcare
provider.
