A little experiment - WEBSITE 1 WWW.DEPRESSEDTEST.COM

I wanted to do a few little online experiments just to see how many of us can be classed as depressed. I chose to do this as there is a huge increase in teen depression but how many of them are just saying they are depressed and how many are telling the truth.

I took a number of online depression tests to see if i qualified as a depressive. The first was on what looked like a fairly amateur site. There were varying questions about how i sleep and if i had lost weight (and a couple about my sex drive but lets not go into that). There were some that were a bit unanswerable: Do you have any delusions? Well a delusion to one person might not be to another. I talk to myself ALL the time, is that a delusion?? There were also ones that were going to give you an obvious answer like "Do you often feel that life is not worth living?"....well personally, no..DUH!!?  There were some that i didnt see any relevence to whatsoever like "which hemisphere do you live in?" There were better questions like had i recently gone through a trauma and whether i was a confident person or not. After I had completed the test, it popped up with a box saying that the result was not a professional medical opinion and that it was not to be held responsible for any damage to me after taking the test.....okay... anyway here are my (non-professional) results:

Here Are Your Scores:

Disorder	Your Score
Major Depression:	Very Slight
Dysthymia:	Slight-Moderate
Bipolar Disorder:	Slight-Moderate
Cyclothymia:	Very High
Seasonal Affective Disorder:	Slight-Moderate
Postpartum Depression:	N/A

 I dont agree with the idea that i could have major depression... i am an incredibly chirpy person and i answered honestly to every question....even the sex ones.... So, so far; depressed teen:1 - happy teen: 0
