Fair warning: This is not a typical, just-for-fun personality quiz. If that's what you're looking for, then this one will bore you to tears (no pun intended). Don't say we didn't warn you.
But if you're genuinely wondering just how depressed you are and whether it's something to be worried about, then read on.
This test is based on the Burns Depression Checklist as found in Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy (revised ed.) by David D. Burns, M.D. It should give you a good idea of how depressed you are and whether you should seek further help for it.
If you are already getting help (or self-help) for your depression, you may find it useful to come back periodically and re-take this test, keeping track of your score and charting your progress.
This is NOT a substitute for a medical opinion. Please seek professional help (from your doctor, medical practitioner, etc.) if you have not been diagnosed with depression but suspect you may be suffering from it.
