PLEASE NOTE: This questionnaire was NOT intended to be used as a self diagnostic measure. To avoid misleading conclusions, we do not provide severity levels or any interpretation. If your total Depression score was higher than 10, we suggest that you contact us or your GP to discuss your concerns.

Everyone can experience the above symptoms to some degree, but if the symptoms are too frequent and/or too intense, you may consider professional help. When undiagnosed, depression may lead to secondary conditions or other disorders, such as chronic pain, chronic fatigue or insomnia.
