Can you judge a person's state of mental well-being, from the questions they ask, or answers they give?

Question

I'm glad to hear it Stormy! x

Answer 1

No Quirky

just their current mood perhaps

Answer 2

Possibly!

Fuddle-duddlepop! ~8o

*giggles*  ...sorry...couldn't resist!

Answer 3

It's hard to tell, like, sometimes I won't give out too much info 'cos I think people might have difficulties in understanding the complexities of the whole answer, so I'll just let out what is enough to let them get by... they can find out more if they wanted to, later, or just take it at this level... 'cos Y/A didn't asked us to swear to "tell the true & the whole true, or so help ye God". Yeah, that's why sometimes we can have a bit of fun by giving funny answers.

Answer 4

if you could, no one would speak to me  lol x

Answer 5

yes ... I just interviewed a guy yesterday - and from the answers he gave me - something was just not right

Answer 6

I suppose you can if you are a psychiatrist.

Answer 7

No, I think it would be wrong to do that.

[Try & be a mental health assessor, I mean.]

You can tell if someone is happy or sad though, or having a difficult time.

Answer 8

no, i don't think you can..

Answer 9

I don't think so.  I got into it with this one guy in the religion section, and I thought he was just adamant about his beliefs, thurns out "Islam is all I have... I have been to jail twice and have ager management.. I don't appreciate you trying to discredit the only thing keeping me from killing someone..."   I was shocked to say the least.

Answer 10

Not in this section, I think most are here for fun and a bit glib but some of the other ones like health and social science are probably more frank thus making it easier to judge the writer

Answer 11

Yes, and I think you're crazy!!!!

Answer 12

Of course not! I know who you are!  You're one of Them aren't you!  I saw your black helicopter parked outside my tent yesterday.  You think you'll get me with your wibble ray, but I'm too clever for you.....

Answer 13

Sometimes. Depending on the question, and the answer given, you can determine some of their opinions.

Answer 14

Maybe if they were being honest, but you never can tell with people on here, Quirky.

BTW ~ I'm ok, thanks for the concern, x

Answer 15

Oh Yes You can spot the sad ones who like to have a go.........

You can also see their are some genuine people who are happy with their lives

Not intended for the one DIRECTLY above...

Answer 16

Sure! If you analyze enough questions and answers... assuming the person ain't just a clown with nothing better to do!

If hes not answering truthfully... Ill end up like a FOX news poll! lol! ;-)
