Blank is a normal result from meeting with psychiatrists.

I think that's because anxiety and depression are generally diagnosed with self-reported symptoms.

You get some really odd symptoms in depression world such as pseudodementia and panic attacks in anxiety world, but for the most part, you're just looking at the DSM-IV-TR criteria, which are subjective.

Are her explosive outbursts the worst symptom that she's showing?
