Kek I have major depression and I've been wanting to kill myself for three consecutive years, and I'm telling you this to seek the attention and approval of strangers in Jow Forums even though you'll most likely tell me to man up and hang myself, and even if you don't it's not like your positive feedback would improve the situation in any way so I'm just doing this to avoid my responsibilities and waste everybody's time

A test is just a checkbox, a person can easier-ly get a grasp on your personality and character (depression becomes a part of your personality, btw), a test can't do that, it can only ask vague questions with vague answers.
Adrian Reyes
Sure, he can assume stuff from your demeanor, as can everyone.
Gabriel Harris
Yeah, they difference is that a therapist has an education and specialises in that kind of work.
Think before you speak.
Wyatt Cruz
Diagnosing something as simple as persistent sadness (I.e depression) doesn't require specialized education. Psychiatrists are taught to discern the various degrees of depression to determine whether a patient requires medication or not.
Jack Taylor
Also, a therapist doesn't diagnose depression, a psychiatrist does. Think before you speak.
Brody Baker
>Persistent sadness.
>Depression.
These 2 are not the same thing, depression is a lack of emotion and a loss of care.
Just because you're sad doesn't mean you're depressed.
A quick Google search could've told you this.
You have may another mental illness, go to a therapist and figure out what it is, but you might not have one at all.
Robert Long
Persistent sadness is the most important criterion in diagnosing depression, a loss of care or motivation might be accompanying symptoms.
Jackson Reed
Also, most psychiatrists base their diagnoses on DSM-5, so just refer to that if you're doubtful.
p.s I'm not depressed or give a fuck about your depression, I just want to prove a faggot wrong

>depression is a lack of emotion
In what world does this constitute depression, depression is not the absence of emotions, rather it's the over abundance of a particular emotion, SADNESS.
