You scored 37.

Based upon your responses to this depression quiz, you appear to be suffering from a moderate to severe depression. People who have answered similarly to you typically qualify for a diagnosis of major depression and have sought professional treatment for this disorder.

I think I scored this high because of a combination of Social Anxiety, working in a job I hate with no holidays, and living around certain family members who make me angry. Once I move out on my own away from family and the crappy work enviroment, my score will be lower.

eh, I got a 20, but many of the questions were because of my ADHD. I'm not depressed. They need to be more careful of how the questions are asked.

I enjoyed this one:

18. Without trying to diet, I have lost, or gained, weight.

My answer was: I WISH!!! Except they didn't have it.

Be careful with these tests because one problem can mask or be confused with another problem. I know I'm not depressed, yet according to this test I am borderline.

You should not take this as a diagnosis of any sort, or a recommendation for treatment. However, if would be advisable and likely beneficial for you to seek further diagnosis from a trained mental health professional soon to rule out a possible depressive disorder.

Most of this is the fault of Social Anxiety though

You appear to be experiencing some depressive symptoms which are often common amongst the general population, but border on the possibility of a depressive episode. It is unclear as to whether you suffer these problems severely enough to need to seek further diagnosis and treatment of them.
