This assessment uses the Gotland Male Depression Scale, a clinically validated instrument specifically designed to detect depression in men, whose symptoms present differently from women. It takes under 3 minutes. Your responses are not stored.

This assessment is for informational purposes only and does not constitute a clinical diagnosis. The Gotland Male Depression Scale (Zierau et al., 2002) is a validated screening instrument. A positive screen indicates that professional assessment is warranted — not that a diagnosis has been made.
