Depression Quizzes: A First Step to Help

Online depression tests—like the popular "Am I Depressed?" quiz—are becoming increasingly common as first steps for people wondering if what they’re feeling could be more than just a rough patch. These tools don’t replace a clinical diagnosis, but they can be a valuable gateway to understanding emotional health and deciding whether to seek professional help.

Accessible on mobile or desktop, these quizzes ask a series of questions based on common symptoms of depression, such as:

Persistent low mood or sadness

Loss of interest in activities once enjoyed

Changes in sleep or appetite

Fatigue, difficulty concentrating, or withdrawal from others
