@James that's good to know. Thank you.

I've been going to doctors and psychiatrists for depression and post-traumatic stress disorder since I was five so even if I took this it really wouldn't tell me anything I didn't already know. Or I could prove not to trust Internet quizzes so much.

who has the worst ones ?
-
Theres a lot of people that got pretty high ones. honestly I don't believe it. like, I don't believe about 90% of people that have depression actually have it. its normal to be sad sometimes. Ive seen people with real depression and how it just f---ing tears them apart and its the worst thing ever, and Ive seen people who say theyre depressed but they can still live their every day lives normally. I dunno, maybe I'm wrong, maybe these people do have depression, just not as severe and maybe they take medication that actually works. but I know my boyfriends depression makes him like not even a person, and the medication doesn't do much to help. and his drs just keep upping the doses and nothings helping. and I just wish someone could f---ing fix it.

Who has the worst ones, Danny? What do you mean? You're making it sound like a competition to see who's got it worse. That's disgusting.
Also, not related to my reply to Danny:
A common misconception about depression is that it's just being sad.
It's not.
It's also a physical thing. Last year I was diagnosed with depression and this was when I was on that slippery little slope between "mild depression" and "Holy-crap-I-want-to-die".
This year it went all the way down to hell and I'd never felt worse in my life. The year before I just felt awful every now and then. This year, the worse I felt, the more pain present in my joints. This caused me to miss a lot of school and fail a course.
I honestly thought that I would have to stop drawing because it hurt so much to pick up a pencil, because not only did it mentally kill me and take all of my ambition in becoming something great, it also took away any physical will to move. THIS OF COURSE MADE ME FEEL EVEN WORSE AND SO ARE YOU STARTING TO SEE THE PATTERN FOR ME HERE HAHA YEAH.
Eventually got treatment, started to get a wee bit better and all but that's not the point.
Point being that depression is not mentally just feeling 'down' and 'sad' sometimes. It's a raging demon whose goal in life is to take you down. A physical and mental fight. It takes so much out of you that you feel like you're no longer human, but something stuck between hell and the world of living.
I would describe it as dying, but not dying.
However, this doesn't account to everyone with depression. There's a scale from mild/moderate to severe.
What I described was closer to severe, but not quite.
I want to say that people who aren't completely 'torn' and 'inhuman' because of their depression doesn't mean they don't have it, they just have a milder form that is easier to treat, which allows them to live life normally and we shouldn't condemn them for being able to function.
Also, Carla, it's possible that his doctors may be putting him on the wrong medication, different meds work for different people. -
I just asked a question. D: forget I asked ..:(
-
I wanted you to explain yourself, not back away.
I admit I came off harsher than meant to and I apologize for that. -
it's okay I already feel like an horrible person but mainly cause of something else.
a horrible.. stupid person ..:/ -

@ Tingy, I dunno, they've switched around his medication quite a few times and right now they have him on 3 different medications at the same time :/
-
oh and about my scores, the one I got extremely high on, cylothymia thing. the description sounds like me, but honestly I just thought that's how life works, if everything is going right, bad stuff always starts to happen. either that or menstrual cycle stuff. I thought it was one of those, or both even, not some disease. cuz it seems normal to me?
