Goldberg’s Depression Test

This is the depression test developed by psychiatrist Ivan K. Goldberg. Answer all of the questions below and click CALCULATE when you have finished.

On Goldberg’s depression scale you can see whether you have symptoms of depression or not. When answering the questions, you should think back seven days, and try to evaluate your condition in this time span only. Enter to which extent the individual statements are true for you.

IMPORTANT:
This depression test is only a basic guide and is in no way a final diagnosis. This self test does not in anyway replace professional help. If you suspect that you might suffer from depression, you should contact your doctor as quickly as possible, no matter what test result you get. If you want to, you could print out the test and show it to your doctor.

Please enter your name and email address, test results will be emailed to you. Optionally enter your phone number.
