64! I win at depression.
Thanks Doctor Goldberg! Now I can put a number to the severe crippling depression I already knew I had.
How depressed am I? I'm 64 depressed.
No, I win at depression! I got 90... after purposely maxing everything out lol.

I got moderate to severe... hmm... well that sucks :/

I then went back and lowered the magnitude of some of my borderline answers and got the same answer...awesome.

13- possibly minor depression.

I used to be quite depressed during the first year of secondary school, sometes having suicidal thoughts I felt like something less than human, Pathetic, like I had an incurable disease.

I did nothing about it but later I decided that I wanted to be a game designer in the future and had some cool ideas. I then met some cool people including a girl who made it clear she had a thing for me and I realized that there was some sort of hope for me yet. I started becoming generally happier and learned to laugh at the world and the retarded fuckheads that once troubled me.

And then I developed an ego bigger than Saturn and all it's rings and i've been (sort of) happy ever since.

Well, that didn't surprise me. I just got dumped, of course I'm depressed. Thank you, Mr. Internet Test, for stating the obvious. Have a cookie.

17 Depressed. Dispite answering 'not at all' to nearly all the questions.

I'm wondering if the people in charge of this test have any ties to drug companies...

This may get a little heavy, so feel free to skip over this thread.
Recently I have been worrying that I may be suffering from depression. I did a little reading and found a link to this website;

http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/interactive/interactivetests/goldberg.php

as it turns out I got quite a high score. Usually that would be a good thing, but in this case, not so much. I am now going to seek out help, so no need to tell me to do that. I'm not fishing for sympathy, I just thought I would share it here, as I don't want to worry friends and family until I have seen a proffessional.

For discussion, are you worried about depression? Have any of you ever suffered from depression, and if so how did you tackle it? Maybe you took the test and got an unexpected score?

EDIT: I don't necessarily think that this test is final, but it may give an indication towards something.
I am in fact suffering from a depression right now and have had some time with a psychologist which I can recommend, assuming you can find a good one of course

I have depression, I don't need an online test to tell me that. Took it anyway and got a score of 38.

You are having suicidal thoughts. This is a serious warning sign, and you must seek help quickly.



You have the symptoms of depression. These symptoms seem to cause a considerable amount of problems in your everyday life, and it would be advisable to consult a doctor.


The suicide part is definatly wrong, because im 14 and have a lot to live for.

Although I can think of what the most preferred way of suicide could be, It's just thoughts if such an occasion could ever come (although I feel disgust whenever thinking about it). The test makes a big deal out of that, but I don't think anything is wrong - I've been like this since I remember myself, as in, whatever I get, I can never get enough, lol.

Scored 19.

Also, I find it silly how depression is called a disease. I'd much rather call it a way of thinking and suicide - natural selection. I assume that these "bad" genes get carried over and over. Then it is a disease. That is actually made worse with "help" and "medication"... so that means it can be cured only by genetic engineering or... nastier means.

A lot of BS. Sober up and GO MAKE YOURSELF USEFUL YOU LAZY ****.

Depression tests are bullshit and never work. If you think you've got depression and then take the test 90% of the time it will say you have depression. Thing is. Spent a couple of weeks with people who say you havent gotten depression or make people who know you fill out the test and 90% will say that you havent gotten it but is just through a period of being constantly down (NOT THE SAME THING)

This is a bit like people who get through school saying that they cant understand math. But they can, they just cant be bothered to do math and therefore do a test that comes out saying they have issues with numbers and therefor needs to be excused. You know what that is? That is bullshit. 30% of the god damn youth over here end up getting that marker and the sickness that once used it is only like 1 out of hundred if not lower.

Depression aswell as stupidity is usually soceity wanting to mark people with some kind of sickness to explain why they are stupid or why they are depressed. The depressed is usually just down and the stupid just need somebody to tell them how to do shit. I mean when somebody asks 2+2 do you say 4 or are you stupid? Last answer wont ever give them a clue on how to solve said question.

38, moderate to severe depression.

Not what I expected, I feel depressed quite alot, but I didn't think I was actually depressed. Meh, I'm already seeing a counsellor, I ain't about to kill myself, so it ain't doing any real harm, and I know what would make me happy, and it's completely out of my reach. The last thing I need is some doctor trying to shove drugs down my throat, wasting my time on therapy sessions which can't possibly be at any time outside of my college hours, and making sure everyone I didn't want knowing that I felt that way knows exactly how I feel.

That, and I have a special part of my overall general cynicism reserved for these sort of tests.

I am amazed by the number of people mocking the symptoms of depression in this thread. People who mock depression have obviously never gone through it.
