Are you suffering from depression? Not sure? Feeling down, as we all do sometimes, or is it more than that? Is someone close to you showing signs of depression and you would like to help them and understand more? There are lots of places to get help and advice if you are feeling depressed, or if you think you might have depression. This NHS website gives both help and information with a good depression self-assessment test:

I scored 9 out of 27 by the way, which means I am "unlikely to be suffering from depression" even though, like most people, I have days when I feel sad. Self-diagnosis of depression or mental illness can however not always be the best thing. If your symptoms persist it is best to talk to someone or see a doctor.
