Feeling low, tired, or just not yourself lately? You’re not alone. Many people experience periods of low mood, and taking a moment to reflect can be a helpful first step. This free, anonymous 20-question self-assessment is based on the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D), a widely used and respected tool developed by researchers to help people gauge depression symptoms over the past week. It only takes 5-10 minutes, and your answers are completely private—no data is stored or shared.
