She was interested in knowing what this test would reveal about hermight tell about her. lamaLama completed the MCMI in about forty-five minutes, an average administration time.
Lama obtained elevated scores on Scale A (Anxiety). Sshe may have an anxious, tense, and apprehensive disposition, and it this could display somatic symptoms. And She also scored high on Scale H (somatoform), which suggests it is preoccupied with vague physical symptoms with no known organic cause. Her scores on scale D also, on scale D (Dysthymia) suggest she is able to maintain day-to-day functions, but is feels depressed, pessimistic, and apathetic. She may have low self-esteem and feelings of inadequacy. Besides, she may experience sleep and appetite disturbance. Her elevated Sscale on CC (Major Depression) suggests that she may be depressed, as I noticed she has postpartum depression. It This might indicate is experiencesing of low energy and loss of interests as well as fand feelingss of helplessness and hopelessness.

Also, she has elevated scores on scales for avoidantavoidance, depressionve, dependencet, somatoform, and dysthymia. Although hHer score on Sscale CC (Major Depression) is elevated meaning , she is experiencing deep depression.
Recommendations:
Lama appears to be in need of counseling. My recommendation s would be more focusing more on her depressive mood and anxiety. Lama needs to go visitto a psychiatric clinic to and ttry and to gget rid of the feeling and getting rid of the responsibilities and of depression and melancholy thoughts about motherhood, while also focusing on spending a fulfilled life with her family on raising her life with her husband and left the melancholy thoughts about motherhood life..
