Interpreting your test results

Your quiz results serve to provide an educated self-assessment of your mental well-being. Your score does not provide a diagnosis of depression. Please consult a medical professional for diagnosis and all questions related to medications (starting, weaning, or ending). Lifestyle interventions and holistic therapies may be used alone or in combination with traditional treatments to aid in treatment of depression.
