This test was too long... But I got a 26 on the depression one... Can't really say I'm suprised... Starting to feel really upset again
Here is your score on the CES-D Questionnaire, which measures symptoms of depression, for comparison to the various happiness measures.
This test is scored so that higher scores indicate greater symptoms of depression. Before interpreting your score, you should know that a high score is not the same thing as a diagnosis of depression. Some people who get high scores are not in fact depressed, and people with low scores can still have a "depressive disorder." A full-blown diagnosis of depression depends on other things, such as how long your symptoms have lasted and whether they have some primary source other than depression. A diagnosis can be made only after a thorough interview with a qualified psychologist or psychiatrist.
If you scored from 0 to 9, you are in the nondepressed range, below the mean of American adults; 10 to 15 puts you in the mildly depressed range; and 16 to 24 puts you in the moderately depressed range. If you scored over 24, you are in the severely depressed range.
If you scored in the severely depressed range, please seek treatment. If you believe that you would kill yourself if you had a chance, regardless of the rest of your answers, please see a mental health professional right away. If you scored in the moderately depressed range (and you do not often think about killing yourself), take the test again in two weeks. If you still score in that range, we recommend making an appointment with a mental health professional.
