About This Test

This free online depression test is for adults who want a quick, clear check of mood and energy. It screens common depression symptoms, low mood, loss of interest, sleep and appetite changes, fatigue, poor focus, and flags the signs of depression that affect daily life. In under two minutes, you’ll rate how often you felt these symptoms over the last two weeks. Your score shows likely severity and offers next steps.

Use your result as a practical starting point. If your score is higher, consider evidence-based mental health support such as talk therapy and guided self-help. If it’s lower, small changes, routine, activity scheduling, sleep hygiene, can still help. Because depression and anxiety often overlap, your answers may suggest both; we’ll note this and point to what to try first. This tool does not diagnose a condition. It gives you a structured view of how you’ve been feeling so you can decide whether to seek professional help, start self-care, or track your progress over time. You can retake the test to see change.

How the test works

You rate how often key symptoms occurred. Scores map to severity bands (none to severe) and unlock guidance: self-help steps, talk therapy options, and when to seek professional evaluation.

Scientific basis

Questions mirror validated depression screener, specifically PHQ-9. The PHQ-9 is reliable and valid for severity monitoring, and major guidelines support evidence-based therapy for depression.

Test Author

Kurt Kroenke (MD), Prof. Robert L. Spitzer (PhD) and Prof. Janet B.W. Williams (PhD).
