About Depression Test
This application allows users to us the PHQ-9 self-questionnaire to quickly self-test whether they might have major depression. Additionally it provides users with a severity score of their depressive symptoms. This involves nine easy to answer questions.
Depression is one of the most prevalent and treatable mental disorders. Diagnosis of depression is based on the presence of certain symptoms that significantly impair function for a certain duration. These symptoms are described in the DSM-IV, the diagnostic manual for mental disorders.
The PHQ-9 test consists of the actual nine criteria on which the diagnosis of DSM-IV depressive disorders is based. The diagnostic validity of the PHQ-9 is fully evidence based [1, 2]. The test has comparable sensitivity and specificity to many other extensive depression measures.
Please note: This self-test is meant to give you insight in your mood state. This test is explicitly not suitable for diagnosis. This test cannot replace professional help. When in doubt, please always contact your general practitioner. No rights can be derived from the results of this test.
Key words: depression, test, tracking, track, graph, psychiatry, disorder, major depression, stress, emotion, mood, happy, happiness, sad, down

I have been diagnosed for awhile now with both anxiety and depression. Lately, I have been trying to find ways to make it better and to keep track of how I am doing just to keep myself in line. It's very helpful to know how I'm feeling to be able to identify the problem so I can learn how to better my feelings. I wish I had this app two years ago.

I got a 26 which is probably right
V
by V####:
by V####:
So I hadn't gotten any help before this app. According to the test I had moderately severe depression, so I got help. I'm not ENTIRELY better yet, but I'm a few steps farther away from suicide than I was before.
by R####:
I am not telling that this is not helpful, but i think anyone with a decent iq will know what answers to choose to get a score according to their wish. Depression is a serious condition, stop making it a 'cool' word and show that you are depressed.
