Feeling Down? Take This Depression Test

Feeling down from time to time is a normal part of life, but when sadness, low energy, or hopelessness begin to affect your daily routine, it might be worth taking a closer look.

Feeling Down? Take This Depression Test

Our online depression test is designed to help you reflect on your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors over the past few weeks. It’s not a diagnosis, but it can be a helpful first step toward understanding your emotional health.

Depression is one of the most common mental health challenges worldwide. It can affect anyone, regardless of age, background, or lifestyle. Often, its signs are gradual, making it hard to recognize when everyday stress or sadness may be developing into something more persistent.

By taking this test, you’ll have an opportunity to pause and assess patterns in your mood, motivation, and overall outlook.

The questions in this self-assessment are based on widely recognized indicators of depression. You’ll be asked about your sleep, energy levels, concentration, and emotions. The results can help you better understand your current state of mind and encourage you to seek further guidance if needed.

Remember, the test is for informational purposes only—it’s not a substitute for professional advice. If your results suggest a high likelihood of depression, or if you’re struggling right now, consider reaching out to a mental health professional or a trusted support network.

Taking the time to reflect on your mental well-being is a sign of strength. Whether your results show mild, moderate, or no signs of depression, the important thing is that you’re paying attention to your emotional health.

Scroll down to begin the test—it only takes a few minutes, and your responses are completely confidential.
