Depression Risk Assessment

Millions of people in the U.S. suffer from depression. More women than men suffer from this health condition. Major depression is an illness that affects a person’s body, feelings, thoughts, and behavior.

Certain things can trigger an episode of depression. They include a stressful life event, genetics, physical illness, medicines, substance abuse, or hormone levels. Any one of these factors, or a combination of them, can make depression more likely. The following questionnaire can help you find out your risk for depression. Follow up with your healthcare provider if you are concerned about depression.

Loss of a spouse, family member, or loved one Divorce Loss of a job A serious illness or surgery A serious financial downfall None
Alcoholism in any first-degree family member(s) (mother, father, brother, sister) Bipolar disorder Depression Suicide (attempted or committed) None
Heart attack (myocardial infarction). Alcoholism Type 2 diabetes Type 1 diabetes Kidney disease HIV positive or HIV infection Anorexia nervosa Bulimia binge/purge Hepatitis C Multiple sclerosis Suicide attempt Bipolar disorder Depression Cancer None

You have told us that you have significant risk factors in your current lifestyle and circumstances that put you at higher risk of developing depression.

Having symptoms of depression does not necessarily mean you are depressed. Other conditions or illnesses can cause similar symptoms. It does mean that you should talk with your healthcare provider or a trained mental health professional who can diagnose your condition.

The answers you have given us show you are at risk for suicide.

If you have not already done so, talk with your healthcare provider, a family member, someone at a mental health clinic, or other supportive person as soon as you can. Find out where you can get help. Don’t ignore this!

If you are thinking of harming yourself now, and have a plan and a means to do it, call or text 988 or go to the nearest hospital emergency room. When you call or text 988, you will be connected to trained crisis counselors at the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. An online chat option is also available at www.988lifeline.org. You can also call the Lifeline at 800-273-TALK (800-273-8255). Lifeline is free and available 24/7.

Put emergency phone numbers in your phone or keep them in your wallet or purse. These include a trusted friend or relative, the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, and your counselor or healthcare provider.
