Diagnosing Depression

Although depression is quite common, many people do not go to their doctor about it, and even when they do, their bipolar symptoms may go unrecognized. If you have been getting less enjoyment from your usual activities, are feeling disappointed with yourself, irritable, desperate, and are having trouble sleeping, you may be suffering from clinical depression. 

MoodChange provides an online screening service to help people assess the extent of their mood change and decide whether they should seek help from a qualified mental health professional. The Mood Change Questionnaire (MCQ) is a diagnosistic screening instrument that assesses nine dimensions of mood symptoms that are recognized by the American Psychiatric Association as symptoms of depression.

The information provided by the MCQ questionnaire is not a substitute for a proper and correct diagnosis by a mental health expert, however, and should not be regarded as providing medical advice or suggested treatment which can only be decided by a mental health expert.
