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!
