    They mention that the men- specific scale very much still misses a lot of people, but it does close the gap.

      Oh yeah, not gonna begrudge better coverage. Just voicing my experience really, which still seems reasonably common for men given that the old “sad or hopeless” scale still caught a decent number of men.

        Yeah I feel that. I very much hit the mark on the new scale they came up with and very much don’t get captured by the normal scale. It sucks too because I hate being angry and used to never be that way, and all the time, until I see this, all I could think was “what’s wrong with me lately” which just makes me spiral even more into, what I now recognize, as a depressive cycle.

      Yeah, theres no such thing as perfection in mental health science. Just a little better than before.
