About this test
▼
This screening questionnaire explores four families of depressive symptoms over the past two weeks: mood (sadness, discouragement), anhedonia (loss of interest and pleasure), cognitive symptoms (worthlessness, guilt, concentration) and somatic symptoms (sleep, appetite, energy). It is inspired by reference clinical criteria (PHQ-9 type). It is NOT a medical diagnosis: only a health professional can diagnose. If you have suicidal thoughts, reach out for help immediately: contact your local emergency services, or find a helpline in your country at findahelpline.com.
Dimensions assessed
- ●Depressed mood- Sadness, discouragement, hopelessness present most of the time.
- ●Anhedonia- Loss of interest and pleasure in usually enjoyed activities.
- ●Cognitive symptoms- Worthlessness, excessive guilt, difficulty concentrating and deciding.
- ●Somatic symptoms- Sleep and appetite disturbance, fatigue and slowing.

With 60 carefully crafted questions, it provides a detailed and nuanced picture of your psychological profile in this area. The test takes approximately 15 min and can be completed at your own pace, from any device.

Daily-life situations this test explores
To help you picture what to expect before you start, here are the concrete contexts the Depression Test (Self-Assessment) sheds light on. This is not the list of questions (you discover them when you start the test) — it is the life situations it assesses.
Before an important meeting
Your thoughts in the hours before: negative scenarios, rumination, body symptoms, urge to control everything.
In the evening, at bedtime
Difficulty turning off your mind, anticipating tomorrow, fragmented sleep, night awakenings with invasive thoughts.
In transport or crowds
Body tension, urge to flee, suffocating feeling, heightened scanning of the environment, fear of losing control.
At any body signal
Heightened sensitivity to palpitations, a headache, a passing pain: fear of a hidden illness, repeated checks.
The actual questions are not shown here: you discover them when you start the test (free up to question 5).
