Take the depression assessment.
Depression has many causes and impacts people in unique ways.
We all have our days when we feel sad, exceptionally tired or are having trouble sleeping. At this time, there are no blood tests or x-rays that can tell if someone is depressed. The best way to make a diagnosis of major depression is to carefully examine how you feel and discuss this with your doctor. There are several questionnaires available to help you and your doctor decide if you have depression that should be treated. It is important to find this out because depression can be successfully treated in almost all cases.
