Please read each statement and decide how much of the time the statement describes how you have been feeling over the past several days.

Screenings are not a professional diagnosis. Screenings point out the presence or absence of depressive symptoms and provide a referral for further evaluation if needed. You should see your doctor or a qualified mental health professional if you experience five or more of these symptoms for longer than two weeks or if the symptoms are severe enough to interfere with your daily routine.

A little of the time, or never Some of the time Good part of the time Most of the time

I feel down-hearted and blue

Morning is when I feel the best

I have crying spells or feel like it

I have trouble sleeping at night

I eat as much as I used to

I still enjoy sex

I notice that I am losing weight

I have trouble with constipation

My heart beats faster than usual

I get tired for no reason

My mind is as clear as it used to be

I find it easy to do the things I used to

I am restless and can't keep still

I feel hopeful about the future

I am more irritable than usual

I find it easy to make decisions

I feel that I am useful and needed

My life is pretty full

I feel that others would be better off if I were dead

I still enjoy the things I used to do
