Straha Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 58 ... The "used to be" questions are hard to answer because the "pessimism bias" in my current state of mind. I don't have an accurate, trustworthy reference point to really say how I felt about how things "used to be" because I'm incapable of even finding any congruence between the memories and moods. What may have been really thrilling or enjoyable times now seem quite modest and mildly satisfying. This is something that really bothers me with these diagnostic tools and I can only hope professionals are far more thorough in their examination and history taking, which should include interviews with at least three or four loved ones or close associates before honing in on a diagnosis. From my experience with psychiatrists and psychologists this is rarely the case. One hour of questions then *bam* - here's your label. I should make badges out of them and sew them into a blanket or sash. I've collected quite a number over the years.Yyyyyyeahhhh it's like, I begin to wonder when I was really happy. Was I ever? Sometimes can't remember. I get excited over something and the s/o says wow I haven't seen you that happy forever and I think huh? I wasn't happy? Wow from the outside I must look.... well, that tells me more about how depressed I must be, than any self-evaluation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garnetred Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 took the test and now after looking at other posts I'm too scatterheaded to remember for sure what I scored... 60? 64? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donaldopato Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Had not taken this in a long time. Remember a score of 70 or so in past. Now am 58. Better, but not "cured." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armai Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Bah, this chart is too limited to give any real idea to the person's depression. I only scored a 33. The test also only states what is normal for depression rather than whether or not you're depressed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaime Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 (edited) 71 here. As many have mentioned, I felt the questions about eating and weight were a bit unfair. Discovering this means I'm severely depressed has had the opposite effect on me from what you'd expect. It's comforting. I feel validated. Up until now, my feelings weren't real in my eyes. They still aren't, but they're a little less fake now, at least. EDIT: I just wanted to say, having seen some people whose scores fell in the normal range, but who still feel depressed: it's not a contest. I think I speak for many people on this site when I say, whether or not you're actually, clinically depressed (and this scale isn't even the final word on that) is immaterial to the fact that we're here for you. Depression is hard, but sadness is hard, too, and we folks who have it rough need to stick together. To everyone: please contact me about anything.

Tid322 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 (edited) I found a link to the test on my own just googling it. For those interested: [please PM member for link] it it worked on my iPhone, for those of you using a phone to connect here. It also will tell you where you scale once the test is complete.

Mavigo Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Found my other score from a year and a half ago: 64. So 45 is a great improvement but it's been rough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gentle sun Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I took the Zung test and my score was 58. I knew I was getting depressed again but you always think its something situational causing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
