Goldberg Depression Test
Welcome to the Goldberg Depression Test. This test is comprised of 18 questions related to your emotional, physical, and intellectual well-being.
It was designed by Dr. Ivan K. Goldberg, a prominent New York psychiatrist as a quick-and-dirty self-assessment tool for persons attempting to better understand their emotional health.
However!: It is important to remember that this is only a quick test for symptoms, and does not replace the diagnosis made by a face-to-face conversation with a trained and licensed mental health professional.
If you score above the threshold on the Goldberg Test below, or — whatever your results — you suspect you may be suffering from depression, you owe it to yourself to speak with a professional.

Don’t most people have a stage where they are depressed though?

Adriana – if you have clinical depression, I think you will know it. Everybody gets ‘down’ or ‘blue’ at times, but this is very different from actual depression. Depression goes on, day after day after day.

No. It isint something everyone goes through but quite alot of people do. Again I’m not a doctor but I have 83’/, so I know what it feels like. It’s like a void of dark thoughts you can’t escape and you get alot…. that went a bit far but you get the message

Oh, I feel you. I got 83%….
I understand the feeling when almost all important people have disappeared from your life, you feel like there’s nobody you can trust fully, and it seems like there isn’t a person who cares. I just don’t know what to do. I’ve tried out antidepressants, but medicine doesn’t actually help. Love, understanding and close people is the best thing against depression…

I have felt sorta down lately… My best friend was ‘depressed’ however I didn’t think she truly was. I encouraged her not to cut/harm her self in any way and i feel weak for having the want/need to cut. I found out about this test so i decided to take it. I scored an 89% i never thought i would be considered depressed. But the guilt is taking over.

I only took this because a youtuber I watch (Laci Green) recommended it. Apparently I’m 73% depressed (Severe Depression). Now I just have to figure out what to do about it… yikes.

94% not surprised, but medication doesn’t work on me and therapists are easily manipulated. In fact it’s a sort of game I like to play. They think they are so smart but they can never see through the intricate web I wind them in. I walk out the office laughing only to go home and cry. I guess deep down I’m used to being this way.

38%. But then, a lot of these symptoms have been going on for weeks…. Months even… But I don’t want to let anyone down by going to a therapist… I’m 5’4 abt. 100 pounds, think I’m fat, and often feel ignored, or like my friends don’t care about me. I honestly just want to hang out in my room on the Internet all the time, and often stay up really late, or wake up at least once during the night, then don’t go back to sleep for hours… I often feel unhappy as myself, and have attempted to cut. But almost all of my friends are like me, or worse, and I feel like my problems are trivial compared to there struggles… I need help, but I don’t want to be a burden

I got 72%…But it’s okay. Life is bitter, but it’s a journey you can only live once, or remember anyways.

The first time I took this, four years ago, my score was low. Mild depression.
Five hospitalizations and multiple suicide attempts later, severe depression.
