How can you take an online depression test?

An online assessment for depression is available on the About.com Depression website. However, taking an online test for depression is not a substitute for seeking a doctors diagnosis and care, states About.com.

If you think you may be depressed, make an appointment with your doctor to discuss a possible diagnosis and treatment, states About.com. Resources on the Internet may also provide additional information about the condition and its treatments. If you feel extremely depressed or suicidal, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 to talk to a trained counselor who can help regardless of your problems, according to the organization's website.
