The depression self-test assesses if you are suffering from depression, or could be at risk.
Depression has many symptoms, many of which may not seem connected.
Most people feel depressed from time-to-time, but for some this feeling doesn’t go away.
Over an extended period depression can make everyday life very, very difficult to cope with.
Taking this self-test is a good way to get an idea where you stand.
It will help you to assess if you are suffering from depression, or could be at risk.
However, it’s no substitute for seeing a mental health professional.
If you feel you have a problem it is better to get help, no matter what the results of the test say.

Instructions
