Self tests

A self-test can help you decide what to do

Having a low mood or feeling on edge are common experiences for us all. When these moods persist, it may be that you are experiencing depression or anxiety – or both. These self tests ask some important questions that can help you take stock of where you are at so you can make a plan for feeling better sooner.

Depression test

Feeling sad or miserable most of the time?


When you’re going through a tough time it’s normal to feel down for a while, emotions like sadness and grief help make us human. But if you’re feeling sad or miserable most of the time over a long period of time, you might have depression.

Take this self-test to help figure out whether you’re showing any of the warning signs of depression. This won’t give you a diagnosis but it will help you decide the next step.

Anxiety test

Been feeling nervous, anxious or on edge?


Take this self-test to get an indication of your anxiety levels. This tool isn’t a diagnosis but it will help you figure out what your next steps might be.

Think about the last two weeks, rather than just today or yesterday. This test is just one part of an assessment of whether anxiety might be a problem for you. There’s more to it, like getting feedback from people who know you well, and looking at how long anxiety has been a problem for you and how it impacts on your life.
