I think this result will probably cause more depression for people then they are actually in. I'd take that result with a pinch of salt. There are a lot of variables that this test does not seem to take inot account. Hell, I got 45 and I'm perfectly happy with how I am at the moment. It's been a lot worse.
14. What the hell is "Possibly minor depression?"
The problem with quizzes like this is they're too general. That doesn't just pertain to things excluded by the questions, but things that are inclusive, but vague.
Take for example: "I have lost interest in things that used to mean a lot to me."
I used to really be into planes as a kid, but lost interest as I grew up. Same's true for a lot of stuff.
Someone probably already stated this, but reiteration drives the point home.

7 so I guess I'm fine
the only answer I really had high was "are you always tired" or something like that.

Yes my life sucks and I will probably kill a bunch of people.
Boring quiz that told me nothing new.

56! Yeah i rock.
wait, were we aiming for low scores?
Edit; i suffer from really quite bad seasonal depression that i haven't long come out of... maybe that's an influence there. but in with the whole "how do you deal with it thing" i just get on with it and apologise when its over... seems to work almost well
Edit 2; retake! 63. hmmm, i was trying to be more positive.
is it wrong that this test makes me smile?

I scored 11, yet it says I should seek out help, I don't think I'll seek help at this stage, unless things take a turn for the worse.
21-35, Minor to moderate depression. Although it's kind of hard to answer these questions, because my outlook varies a lot depending on what's currently happening with my life.
During school I would have answered a lot of the questions farther to the right, but now I'm on vacation and don't have as much bothering me. So I sort of tried to balance between the two, but it's impossible to really get it 'right'. I guess I'm a pretty moody person, I have ups and downs. I bet you most psychiatrists would tell me I have bipolar or some bullshit like that, but I think I'm just pretty receptive to what's happening around me.
