The NHS Choices website has some great self-assessment tools. They appear to be well under used, probably because many people don’t know about them. Please use these tools as they were intended: to give you some advice. They do not replace assessment, diagnosis and management by a GP. If you’re concerned about your health – go and visit your GP. Here’s 9 great self-assessment tools:
1. Depression Self-Assessment Tool

Having struggled with my own mental health this year (see Finally…in Recovery and getting Back to Life), it’s unsurprising that two of my charitable donations have been to mental health charities:
 SANE SANE is a UK mental health charity, which aims to improve the lives of people affected by mental illness. |
 Mind Mind is a UK mental health charity that states that it won’t give up until everyone experiencing a mental health problem gets support and respect. |
 |
I gave another donation to JDRF who are an international charity that fund research into a cure for type 1 diabetes. Currently one of the things they’re funding is smart insulin, which could be life-changing for diabetics. |
They have great Christmas cards and wrapping paper in their shop, all the proceeds of which go to them. So I stocked up.
 |
My final donation was to The Brick Project, which supports homeless people in the Wigan borough (my hometown). Through circumstances and life events anyone could end up homeless. I’d never want to be homeless and like to support any charities that help people to rebuild their lives. |

It that shows that readers enjoy the current content I create and would like more of everything. It shows that 80% of readers surveyed said that they would like more personal blog posts: |
