So, What Does the Test Say? You mean you're in a depression?

The word depression really means "emotional fever." Your emotional body is running a fever. The depression test provided you with a score, letting you know how high your emotional fever is.

What Do I Do Next?

If your depression score is showing moderate to severe, go see your family doctor and provide him/her with the score results.
Hire a therapist and/or life-coach to help guide you along the recovery journey.
