Depression Screening Questionnaires

This screening questionnaire is not designed to provide an actual diagnosis of depression. For that, you will need a complete clinical evaluation by a psychiatrist or other health care professional.

  • I am unable to do the things I used to do.

  • I feel hopeless about the future.

  • I can't make decisions.

  • I no longer enjoy the things I used to find fun.

  • I am losing or gaining weight.

  • I get tired for no reason.

  • I am sleeping too much or too little.

  • I feel worthless and unhappy.

  • I become irritable or anxious.

  • I think about dying or killing myself.

If you answered yes to 5 or more of these questions, and you have felt this way everyday for several weeks, there is a good chance you are suffering from depression and should see a psychiatrist, a therapist, or other health care professional.

If you answered yes to question 10, you should seek help immediately, regardless of your answer to any other questions.
