How do you get tested for depression? is it a battery of tests, an interview, what?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depression tests: Despite all the screening tools available in research, online, in fashion magazines.The psychiatric interview is the best possible way to diagnose depression although the scales are helpful to evaluation and monitoring response to treatment.Its helpful but not the way to diagnose some one with depression.
