The Research Behind This Depression Test

Built on the World's Most Used Depression Scale

This self-screening test uses a series of questions to assess symptoms of depression, including low mood, loss of interest, and changes in daily functioning.

It’s designed to evaluate how often depressive symptoms have shown up over the past two weeks. Your results won’t confirm a diagnosis, but they’ll indicate whether it’s worth exploring further.

Clinically Validated

Adapted from the most widely used depression screening tool in clinical practice today.

A Signal, Not a Verdict

Your score highlights whether your symptoms warrant a closer look. Only a qualified professional can diagnose depression.

Where to Go From Here

If your results suggest possible depression, Elyséa HEALTH can connect you with a clinician for a comprehensive in-person assessment.

What Your Score Reveals

Frequently Asked Questions

A closer look at how this depression test works and what your results might mean for you.

Why does this test ask about the past two weeks specifically?

Clinical guidelines define depression partly by how long symptoms persist. Asking about a consistent two-week window helps distinguish an ongoing low mood from a difficult day or two.

Can I have depression even if I'm still functioning day to day?

Yes. Many people continue working, studying or caring for others while experiencing significant depressive symptoms; this is sometimes called high-functioning depression, and it’s still worth addressing.

Does this test ask about thoughts of self-harm?

Yes, one question addresses this directly, as it’s a standard and important part of any depression screening. If you’re having thoughts of harming yourself, please contact Lifeline on 13 11 14 or seek urgent care.

What should I do if my score is high?

A higher score doesn’t confirm depression, but it’s a strong signal worth acting on. We’d recommend booking an assessment with one of our clinicians or raising your results with your GP.
