SELF-SCREENING FOR DEPRESSION…

Self-screening for depression is a simple checklist which asks you a series of questions about the symptoms of major depressive disorder and other problems that often go along with depression.

Essentially, 

Ø     This self-screening is based on questions that doctors often ask when their patients think they have a problem with clinical depression. 

Ø     This self-assessment can help indicate if you might have clinical depression and will help you assess and document your own feelings and behaviour and will provide you with a fairly good picture of your emotional state. 

Ø     While, it’s normal to feel some of the symptoms from time to time, but experiencing several or more for more than two or three weeks may indicate the presence of depression or another depressive illness. 

INSTRUCTIONS: 

Ø     If you think you might be suffering from clinical depression, take this simple test.

Ø      Be as objective and thorough as possible.

Ø     All of the questions have "yes" or "no" answers. Answer "yes" or "no" to the following questions.

DEPRESSION CHECKLIST: 

  1. Do you often feel tired or having no energy?
     
  1. Are you experiencing for most of time feelings of sadness, emptiness or anxiousness?
