Another strange question from the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale

[rivka]

I didn't make this questionnaire up. I'm not the one who chose it for our research. And this kind of question demonstrates why I didn't.

Obviously there's something seriously wrong with the available choices here. This item begs for deconstruction. Or maybe elaboration. Doesn't it?

Ack! You people post too quickly!

(Or maybe I edit too slowly.)

I wasn't satisfied with the original formatting of the poll, so I changed it. But they don't let you just go in and change a poll - I had to create a new one. bunyip seems to have gone ahead and blithely re-answered the new one, but Mary (http://www.livejournal.com/users/mactavish)'s response was lost. Sorry, Mary... I didn't realize anyone had already answered when I deleted it. Would you rather re-enter an answer, or just give up on me as a hopeless case?

Mainly because bunyip is at work, and between calls, he keeps a close eye on livejournal. :)
