Depression tests are self-assessment instruments designed to identify depressive symptoms, determine their severity, and monitor changes in condition over time. They allow evaluation of psychological, somatic, and behavioral components, as well as associated manifestations, including anxiety and inner tension.
The questionnaires are based on modern diagnostic frameworks (ICD-10, DSM) and are used for initial screening and longitudinal monitoring. It is important to note that test results do not constitute a medical diagnosis and do not replace consultation with a qualified professional. If symptoms are pronounced or persistent, it is recommended to seek medical advice.
Anxiety and depression often occur together in practice and can reinforce one another. If you're more troubled by anxiety, constant tension, or unexplained fear, our anxiety test may also be helpful.
If, instead, periods of sadness alternate with periods of unusually elevated energy or reduced need for sleep, you may also be interested in the Bipolar Spectrum Diagnostic Scale (BSDS).
