How to read the result
- 0-4Minimal signs. There are almost no signs of depression. Everyone has bad days, and that is normal.
- 5-9Mild signs. Mood and energy are somewhat low. Watch yourself for a couple of weeks and sort out sleep and workload. If it does not pass or gets worse, see a doctor.
- 10-14Moderate signs. Low mood is already affecting your life. With this result please see a psychiatrist or a medical psychotherapist: depression is treated by doctors, and treatment works well.
- 15-19Moderately severe signs. This is serious. Please see a psychiatrist or a medical psychotherapist soon.
- 20-27Severe signs. This is a severe state. Please do not put it off: see a psychiatrist or psychotherapist in the next few days.
About the test
This test helps you understand how you are doing, but it is not a diagnosis. Only a doctor or psychotherapist can diagnose after a conversation.
I do not work with depression, thoughts of death or self-harm. If your result is high, the test will tell you where to turn.
