This is a link to a Depression Screening Test. You can use this brief 18-question online automated quiz to help you determine if you may need to see a mental health professional for diagnosis and treatment of depression, or for tracking your depression on a regular basis. The Depression Screening Test is not designed to make a diagnosis of depression or take the place of a professional diagnosis. If you suspect that you are depressed, please consult with a mental health professional as soon as possible.
I’ve been coping with depression for just about two years ever since my spouse Dan passed, and one of the ways I’ve tried to heal is by getting to know as much about depression as I can. I’m currently leading a discussion group for women who are experiencing depression, and I came upon your article while hunting for materials to go over in this thursday’s meeting. I don’t know how it works for other people, but for me, understanding is empowering, and the more I learn the closer I get to feeling normal again.
