I don't think there is any validity to this test, sweetie:) I wouldn't take it to heart.

Yup...what he said. Though it was pretty accurate on mine. I've been diagnosed as dysthymic twice. Doesn't mean anything though. If you really want to know more about depression, I suggest reading Elizabeth Wurtzel's Prozac Nation or going to websites like BetterHealth or Mental Health @ About.com. And of course, there are plenty of other books besides Wurtzel's out there.

Nope, I don't remember. My memory is holy...and I don't mean blessed, I mean more like swiss cheese. ;-P

Well, there is always interlibrary loan:

for the public library

for the college library...

If you can't find Wurtzel's Prozac Nation, I also recommend Lauren Slater's Prozac Diary, just about anything by Kay Redfield Jamison, and there's also a book called We Heard the Angels of Madness written by the mother and sister of this depressed young man.

Some that I haven't read, but that could be useful in research:

What To Do When Someone You Love Is Depressed by Mitch Golant (which I think is at the Hertford Library if I remember correctly)...

The noonday demon : an atlas of depression by Andrew Solomon.
