About this test

A widely used clinical tool to assess depression severity over the past two weeks.

Over the last 2 weeks, how often have you been bothered by any of the following problems?

Who should take this test?

  • People feeling low, empty, hopeless, or emotionally numb for several days or more.
  • People who have lost interest in things they usually enjoy.
  • People noticing changes in sleep, appetite, energy, concentration, or self-worth.

Possible symptoms / signs

  • Low mood, sadness, emptiness, or hopelessness.
  • Loss of interest, tiredness, poor sleep, appetite changes, or difficulty focusing.
  • Feeling worthless, guilty, slowed down, restless, or having thoughts of self-harm.

What this test checks

  • Nine common depression symptoms from the past two weeks.
  • Mood, interest, sleep, energy, appetite, self-worth, concentration, movement, and safety.
  • A severity range that can help decide whether self-care, counselling, or urgent support is needed.

Before you start

  • Answer based on the timeframe shown for the test, usually the past two weeks.
  • Choose what is most true overall, not just how you feel in this exact moment.
  • If you mark self-harm thoughts, please reach out for immediate human support.
