Self Assessment: Depression
This self-assessment is designed to help you identify key indicators of depression and the way in which it may be impacting your life, or the life of a loved one. It is not intended as a clinical diagnostic tool.
Do I have a Problem with Depression?
Clinical depression is more than simply feeling down or having a bad day. Not only do feelings of unhappiness, sadness, guilt or disinterest not fade as they usually should, but they can intensify into feelings of extreme hopelessness, worthlessness and an inability to continue regular activities.
If you’re experiencing depression, you may feel enveloped by numbness and a lack of motivation. Previously rewarding activities may fail to spark any interest, enjoyment or enthusiasm.
As you read each of the following statements, take your time to think about the answer before selecting the response which feels right. Only you will see the results of this test.
If you’d rather undertake a free, confidential, tailored assessment over the phone — or would like to discuss your results — our team is available seven days a week on 1800 063 332 or contact us here.
All responses are protected by patient confidentiality. Your answers to individual questions will not be stored or saved.
