This is the depression test developed by the psychiatrist Ivan K. Goldberg. Answer all of the questions below and click CALCULATE when you have finished. Dr. Ivan Goldberg has worked as a psychiatrist in New York for many years.
On Goldberg's depression scale you can see whether you have symptoms of depression or not. You can also use the scale to see if you are making progress in your treatment, whether it is medical treatment or therapy. A five percent change is a sign of either progress or deterioration. 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 suit your condition.

What is it with Asians and being depressed??
What the hell do you have to be depressed about?
IMO you're only depressed if you have either regrets or you've done something wrong. Eliminate the possibility of them and no depression.

Its just that quiz.
Its highly unlikely you will get 'not depressed' on it.

You have reached level 0 on the Goldberg scale.
0 - 9 Depression unlikely
You do not have any obvious symptoms of depression. You seem to accept the ups and downs which are a part of normal everyday life
what a dum quiz :roll: :roll:
a higher percentage of the ethnic minority suffer from mental illnesses than the white population
and asain women are the highest risk for depression
psychologists usaully state its cuz they are repressed and suffer low self-esteem due to be subdues by their husbands and families- :roll: - i dont agree and think that the people who believe that are following a stereotypical view
but then why are you sisters getting depressed :?
really :shock: , i got level 3 not depressed and lilsis got zero, sis what you so happy bout :?
anyway i think this quiz is flawed, and as psychologists would say its lacks ecological validity , as the quiz is too much dependent on mood, for example if someone is in a happy mood and takes that quiz they be not depressed and if they feel sad e.g. their jus got sacked, then they will score as suffering from depression.
so chillout dont really go to the doctors
It is difficult to diagnose depression - it often accompanies other types of disorders that must be ruled out.
Diagnosis requires five or more of the following symptoms for at least two weeks:
1. Extreme sadness, tearfulness, depressed mood.
2. Loss of interest in activities normally enjoyed, social withdrawal.
3. Disturbed sleep – loss of sleep (insomnia), or more sleep than normal.
4. Changed activity level: often agitated (or slowed down and lethargic).
5. Disturbed appetite and weight change – may be increased or decreased.
6. Loss of energy and tiredness.
7. Self-reproach, guilt, low self-esteem, anxiety.
8. Difficulty making decisions, diminished concentration-span.
9. Thoughts of death and suicide, suicide attempts.
and their is a difference from being depressed and suffering from depression, cuz everyone gets depressed for a reason e.g. failure
but suffering from depression is a psychology disorder and requires medical help and it normally is associated with something else e.g. scizophrenia.
Salaam
I got Zero as well…
On rare occasions I do feel blue…but when I think about how this feeling is manifesting extreme ungratefulness to God, I go out of my way to make myself feel positive again.
I do believe that God has given me a LOT…so focusing on the one or two things that I don’t have or focusing on the one thing that may be stressing me out is wrong.
Being idle and inactive is also the root cause of depression of many people.
Of course, feeling depressed or low is not always linked to ungratefulness or idlness.... for some it’s a medical condition which requires medical help.
Dhikr (remembrance) of God is the answer…because “in the dhikr of God do hearts find peace”.
However, one can not dhikr away chronic depression.
