I got a 27 .
"You are having suicidal thoughts. This is a serious warning sign, and you must seek help quickly."
Eeh... I've been feeling better lately. I suppose if I had answered a few weeks/months back, I would get a far worse score. I have considered professional help before, and I sort of want to get a psychologist to analyze me some time; but I can't really get myself to see a psychiatrist about this.
I figure if I do not get better by the time I'm done with puberty, I might go see a professional.
Edit: Quite honestly, I was expecting a higher score.
Edit: I took it again, imitating my attitude from a few weeks ago. I got a 49.

Is it okay that this made me laugh? I mean you're 'depressed' but you seem pretty psyched about it. I made half your score! If I had a twin we'd be as depressed as you.Diligent said:
Slightly more seriously, I am a college student who is displeased with their major, and trying to move into a second major (also, ick on having to grow up). So moody "I'm fairly apathetic to everything" levels are going down. The prospect of new classes and leaving behind the classes/environment that has me bummed is lifting me up quite a bit.
Also, I had two jobs and wasn't seeing any friends. Now that we're in break mode, I've hung out with friends like twice and that was like a kick in the pants of happy endorphines. I just honestly forgot how nice it is to hang out with my friends and how awesome they are. But yeah, no shame in seeing a psychologist/councelor/my dad (who is a councelor).
Perhaps you should add ICANHASCHEEZEBURGER to your reading list?
45: "Moderate to severe depression".
Well that's not good. I'm not depressed so much as bored with existence, but then I guess this test is unlikely to be wholly accurate - if depression was so easy to diagnose, quite a few psychiatrists would be out of a job.

I got 58. However, I am actually cyclothymic, and I did the test at a good time. Im gonna consider this something positive, still. A while back, I used to forget about my "other self", so to speak, and think my life was either sunshine and beautiful girls, or just a depressing joke, told by myself, about myself, to myself.
It's a strange thing, depression. I seem to have come to terms with it, and seeing as how it really hasn't changed since I started to turn out this way a few years back, it's odd that I feel more comfortable with myself. It seems I've gotten used to having these periods of ups and downs nowadays.
Of course, I might just be saying this because Im in such a good mood today.
Also, it might be because I finally got around to watching Appaloosa. Everett Hitch lives by what I call my ideals, what a guy. I might have these ideals, sure, but Im not focused enough to live by them, or atleast not yet. Although, imagining these ideals and doing my best to live by them lends me a great deal of comfort.
...Yes, off-topic, I know, but really, it's an amazing film.

I'm afraid you'll have to share the honours, I'm a pretty happy Panda.Aur0ra145 said:
I'm in a good mood basically all the time for no reason, and it causes customers to tip generously, which only serves to improve my mood further.
It's...whatever the opposite of a vicious cycle is.
34 - Sleep related questions did it I guess; I'm by no means depressed, but I'm tired cause I didn't get to sleep last night - which is the result of a cold and a cough.
Feel sad every now and again, but by no means am I moderately depressed.

17, Minor depression I think 0.o
Since F***ing when is THAT easy to get depressed???
And because I answered "only slightly" to the having suicidal thoughts it said that I must get immediate attention... When I am simply a person who has a morbid sense of humour and curiosity. This test is how do you say... FUBAR. Honestly, it is really dim with some of its questions that really are NO indicator of depression...
At least my score was low, so that is accurate, but the commentary... nah-uh.

Scored a 40...
Hm... it's pretty accurate but I'm not really depressed anymore. I'm depressive bipolar, so that kinda explains it.

7 - Depression unlikely.
Seriously? The results of this test are depressive. There isn't a single possible result that tells you that you do not have depression. The best you can get is "depression unlikely," but that means you just might have it anyway. Even if you get a 0. >_> Fuck this test.

Minor to Moderate Depression/On the verge of depression.
Hm, that's good. Because if I had taken this test, oh, six weeks ago. I think that I would've scored much higher.

Apparently I may be a little bit depressed. I scored a 17. Eh. I think it's because I'm just unbelievably lazy. Half of those questions were about your lifestyle and I guess the lazy kind means I am depressed.
Cool.
Cool.
hmmm i have not been on a diet but have started exercising and lost quite a bit of weight, that question is misleading :\. that was interesting i got a 10, meh, i imagine if i took this around finals before i got my grades back (all A's and a B :|) i would have scored significantly higher. Considering i was extremely tired (from last minute projects and studying), i was doing everything slowly (because i was exhausted), felt restless (because i was tired and nervous), and found trivial things hard as i just wanted to finish those damned tests. My point being this whole thing is rather inaccurate and depends on what is happening in your life at the time, the questions are vague and mostly dependent on the type of day your having.
I may not be depressed but i may be a masochist picking arguments with random forum goers about philosophy...
did you just put nihilism and logic in the same sentence? From a purely anthropological point of view i can make a great case for Natural Law (objective law), all cultures have cetarin common laws upheld with in them, for example "don't kill innocents", now what a culture defines as innocent is very different but the idea is the same all over. Nihilism is ridiculously easy to find flaws with by the way.Sightless Wisdom said:

I apparently need to seek help because I'm having suicidal thoughts.
Huh. I only clicked slightly because I've thought in the past that if I were to kill myself, I'd want to do it some way awesome.
