The following is not a scientific tool but rather a guide to identifying the presence of depression or depressive symptoms. Only a qualified health professional can diagnose depression. This screening tool is not a substitute to a health professional consultation and will not be sufficient as a referral for treatment or diagnosis.

Should you have any concerns or questions regarding your personal wellbeing, contact your doctor or mental health professional.

If you or someone you know has thoughts of death or suicide, contact a health care professional, clergy member, loved one, friend, crisis line or call 911 immediately. Please check the ONE response for each question that best describes how you have felt for the past seven days.
