Psychology Depression Quiz

Identify common symptoms of depression

The Depression Quiz can help you identify common symptoms of depression, their severity, and whether you need treatment for depression.

Depression is a very serious mental illness. People who suffer from depression are in a vicious circle. Depression is one of the leading causes of disability and the leading cause of suicide. It is estimated to be responsible for 800,000 deaths annually.

Depression is not an irreversible and curable disease and that is the good news. There are decades of research on mental illness and depression and now a great deal of experience in dealing with them.

However, the first step is always acceptance and understanding of the illness.

Once that first step is taken, treatment is just a few steps further.

This app is based on the symptomatology of depression of the DSM 5 diagnostic manual.
