Do I Have Depression? – Test

Have you been wondering, “Do I have depression?” Take the test below to help determine if you have a problem.

Most of us feel sad, discouraged, or feel “low” once in a while; but for some people, this mood doesn’t go away the next day or the next. If you are feeling consistently “down” and your lows are making it hard for you to function, you may be depressed. If you have been feeling like this for several weeks and it is making it hard for you to remain productive at work or in the home, if your mood is making it hard for you to do regular daily routine tasks, you may be experiencing depression. Taking the Self-Test is a good way to evaluate different aspects of your life at this current time. It can help identify whether you are experiencing some of the warning signs of depression.
