Case: Mandy is a counselor working at a local community mental health clinic. She has been meeting with her client for several sessions and has become concerned about the client's depression and anxiety. Mandy notes that her client appears to be happy in general, but that the client shows depressive episodes at certain times of the week. Mandy is interested in learning more about this. Mandy wishes to conduct a depression and anxiety test with her client and believes that the test will assist her in providing the correct treatment for her client. Mandy goes online and finds a depression and anxiety test that has been shared by a web group she belongs to. Upon further study, Mandy learns that the test was originally developed by the University of Boston. The writers of the test used past validated tests, research, and interviews with experts in the field of depression and anxiety.

Mandy feels confident in the validity of this test and believes that it will be useful for her work with her client.
