Everyone gets sad and blue sometimes. Feeling sadness is a natural reaction to tragic or unfortunate circumstances we all find ourselves in.

But chronic depression that lasts months or years, that keeps us at home instead of out with friends, that makes us sleep for more hours than we're awake, and that makes normally pleasurable activities unpleasurable or boring - that's another thing altogether. That kind of sadness might be clinical depression.

These tests can't diagnose you; only a doctor can do that. But if that's what you're feeling, you should talk to your doctor about what's been going on in your life.
