There is an old thread about this, but it got locked. :( Back in the day, there was an online version of the BDC that would tally up your scores for you, but I can't find it anymore. Here is a current one, but you'll have to do the math yourself: Burns Depression Checklist. Obviously, a score from a test on the internet is not the same thing as being diagnosed by a professional. I do find it a handy tool to check how I'm doing/how far I've come, though.

A few years ago, when I took this test I'd get scores in the 70's and 80's. I just took it again and got a 44. That's still moderate depression, but it's better than it was. I'm kind of disappointed that I still scored so high, though. I was hoping it would say that I was no longer depressed, because I'm doing so much better now. Ah well . . . maybe next time it'll be even lower!

Thanks for posting this @Silverpuddle, I hadn't heard of this and it looks like a good quick gauge on how your doing.

Also better is good so don't be too disappointed, if you stay on that track you'll be where you want to be in the not to near future.

Geez.. I scored way higher on that than I thought I would. I don't consider myself to be particularly "depressed" but I got "moderate".
