InteliHealth Depression Test

Your CESD score is 49

The likelihood that you have major or clinical depression is high. You should see a trained health professional to confirm the diagnosis and discuss what treatment might be best for you. Some people with depression begin to feel that nothing will make them feel better. This is an expected feeling when you are depressed. You need to talk with someone about how depression is treated today and learn more about the large number of people like yourself who have recovered.

The CESD or Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale was developed in the late 1970s and has been completed by thousands of individuals in medical settings and studies. The CESD is designed to find individuals who have major or clinical depression. About 85% of those who score high on the CESD are diagnosed by psychiatrists as having major or clinical depression. On the other hand, about one quarter of those who score high are not found to have depression. Anyone who has a high score on the CESD should discuss their symptoms with a health professional they trust within two weeks or earlier if necessary. Deciding to seek care is not easy because we frequently feel depression will go away on its own. But delaying treatment can be dangerous and help is available.
