How is depression diagnosed?

Depression is diagnosed by a mental health professional, such as a psychiatrist, psychologist, or licensed therapist, through a clinical interview and assessment.

The professional will ask questions about the patient's symptoms, thoughts, feelings, and behavior patterns to determine if they meet the criteria for a depression diagnosis.

They may also use standardized assessment tools, such as the Beck Depression Inventory or the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale, to help evaluate the severity of the patient's symptoms.

Additionally, a physical examination and lab tests may be conducted to rule out any underlying medical conditions that could be causing the symptoms.

It is important to note that only a qualified mental health professional can accurately diagnose depression, and self-diagnosis is not recommended.
