Do you have to have a blood test for depression?
It would be helpful if there were an accurate blood test for the diagnosis of depression. However, there is no valid laboratory test, to date. (It was once thought that the dexamethasone suppression test was an accurate blood test for depression - and many were ordered in the 1970s. It proved to be both inaccurate and invalid.) The best way to diagnose depression is by a combination of clinical interviewing and scale scoring (HAM-D or Hamilton Depression Scale, or MADRAS, which is the the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating and Assessment Scale). The do-it-yourself Beck Depression inventory (BDI) can be downloaded or viewed online. If depression is suspected, it wouldn't be a bad idea to schedule an appointment with a qualified therapist. If depressive symptoms are moderate to severe, medication can help to supplement the work of therapy (from a primary care physician or psychiatrist).

Could I learn anything useful from taking an online depression test?
Online depression tests may help to a certain extent to give you and idea that you may be depressed but to be diagnosed you would have to see a doctor. I would say a negative online depression test (one that says you are not depressed) is probably a better tool then a postive test( one that says you are depressed) . I could see the value in having the online test as a screening tool but then again there are alot of factors that go into question formulation for the test and interpretation. Always see a doctor to be sure!
