When diagnosing depression several aspects of a person's health is taken into consideration, as it could be a symptom of a bigger problem. Screening includes blood tests to check electrolyte levels and liver and kidney functions. Other than that the doctor may request an MRI, ECG or EEG.

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!
