These are questions that many use in assessing depression. The more questions you answer yes to may indicate that you are experiencing depression. If in answering any of these questions, you feel uncomfortable or have a concern about yourself, please at least talk with a friend. Or talk with your physician or a mental health professional. They are able to determine whether you have clinical depression. If so, whether it is mild, medium or severe, they can let you know what treatment options are available to you.
