Online Depression Test (Free & Confidential)

Co occurring bipolar disorder is a mental illness that walks hand in hand with substance abuse. Developing bipolar disorder, or other mental disorders can be a direct issue stemming from substance abuse.

Are you feeling sad, hopeless, or struggling with motivation? Depression is one of the most common mental health conditions, but it’s also highly treatable. Taking a brief depression self-test can help you understand whether what you’re experiencing may be symptoms of depression.

Our Depression Test is inspired by the well-known PHQ-9 screening tool and asks about your mood, energy, sleep, and daily life over the past two weeks. You’ll receive an instant score showing whether your symptoms are likely mild, moderate, or severe.

This test is free, confidential, and only takes a few minutes.

Why Take a Depression Test?

Many people dismiss symptoms of depression as “just stress” or “feeling tired.” But if left unaddressed, depression can impact your relationships, work, and overall health. A self-assessment is a simple way to:

  • Reflect on your emotional well-being

  • Recognize possible signs of depression early

  • Decide if reaching out for professional help might be a good next step

What This Test Can and Cannot Do

  • Can help you reflect on symptoms you may be experiencing

  • Can guide you toward seeking professional support if needed

  • Cannot provide a medical diagnosis

  • Cannot replace a mental health professional’s evaluation

If your score suggests you may be struggling, Cedar Hill Behavioral Health offers compassionate, evidence-based treatment options to help you feel better.

Think about how you’ve been feeling over the past 2 weeks. Choose the option that fits best. (0 = Not at all, 1 = Several days, 2 = More than half the days, 3 = Nearly every day)

This tool is for informational purposes only. If you are in crisis, call or text 988 in the U.S. or use local emergency services.
