An interesting test here, thought I would post as a lot of people always say they are depressed as an off the cuff remark.. but how true is that is the question? I don't actually regard depression as an illness, just a normal human emotion aka sadness that we go through periods with or many years with. Some can deal with it, others can't. IMHO anyway.
Take the test here: http://www.depressedtest.com/ and post your results, it's only like a page and a half of quick questions.
You?

I wouldn't say I had depression. Not in a very ideal situation with unemployment and the process you have to go through with that. Some of my symptoms that make that say I'm moderate seem to be cos I like junk food and find it difficult to sleep straightaway, which I wouldn't really attribute to me feeling depressed tbh and more to do with me being a fussy eater and staying on the computer til late.
