Free Depression Test Online - Check Your Mood & Mental Health
Take a clinically inspired mood screening that evaluates your interest levels, energy, sleep quality, and emotional baseline over the past two weeks. Get compassionate insights in minutes.
Six Dimensions of Mood & Depression
Our screening evaluates the full spectrum of depressive symptoms - from loss of pleasure and hopelessness to sleep, energy, and appetite changes.
Loss of Interest
Measures diminished pleasure or interest in activities you once enjoyed. This is often the first and most telling sign of depression - hobbies, social plans, and daily routines feel empty rather than fulfilling.
Depressed Mood
Tracks feelings of sadness, emptiness, hopelessness, and tearfulness over the past two weeks. Depressed mood can range from persistent low spirits to an overwhelming sense of despair.
Sleep Disturbance
Evaluates difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or sleeping too much. Sleep and depression are tightly coupled - disrupted rest both causes and amplifies depressive symptoms.
Energy & Fatigue
Assesses persistent tiredness, sluggishness, and the feeling that even small tasks require enormous effort. Low energy is one of the most disabling aspects of depression for daily functioning.
Hope & Self-Worth
Screens for feelings of worthlessness, excessive guilt, and diminished hope about the future. These cognitive patterns can spiral without intervention and significantly impact quality of life.
Appetite Changes
Identifies significant weight loss or gain, increased or decreased appetite, and changes in eating patterns. Physical symptoms often mirror emotional shifts in depression.
