depressed

All of us have experienced periods of sadness, disappointment, loss of energy or motivation, or “the blues” on occasions, but Major Depression is a more severe and long lasting form of these.

It is when that down, rotten feeling invades every part of your life.

Perhaps you've been feeling down lately, or you've lost enthusiasm for life? If you're wondering whether it's just a bad day, week or month; or whether how you're feeling is more serious depression, this quiz has been designed to help.

How to take this Quiz:
