Depression: Quick Quiz
Are you suffering from depression? Don't feel like wading through the text?
Check next to the symptoms you have, count the "ticks" and read the results! 1. I have felt "down" and miserable almost all the time for at least the past two weeks. 2. I am eating too much/ I don't feel like eating. 3. I have noticeably gained or lost weight. 4. I am sleeping badly/ I am sleeping too much. 5. I can't sit still/ I sit in one place and feel like I can't move a muscle. 6. I have gone off sex and/or I don't even feel like doing things I usually like. 7. I feel tired all the time. 8. I am smoking/drinking, drugging too much. (excessive gambling & sex fit here too). 9. I can't think clearly. It is difficult to concentrate or to follow a train of thought. 10. I feel guilty and worthless - I feel like a burden. 11. I often feel like killing myself.
Results: If you checked No. 1 and more than four others, and if you have felt like this for longer than two weeks, then you are probably suffering from depression and you can be helped. Remember that Depression can be treated!
NB: If you are seriously contemplating suicide or feel you may hurt yourself or others, then online counselling is not the best option for you just now. This is not a crisis centre. Please log off and consult a therapist, health professional or your local emergency services without delay. You probably need a much closer level of care and we will be glad to be of service to you again once the crisis has passed!
