Self-Assessment for Depression - Blossom TMS Clinic

Self-Assessment for Depression - Blossom TMS Clinic

At Blossom TMS clinic, we understand that recognizing depression and seeking help can feel overwhelming. One of the first steps in understanding whether Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy could be the right treatment for you is identifying the symptoms of depression.

We’ve designed this self-assessment to help you reflect on your emotional and physical health and see if you might be experiencing symptoms of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD).

If you find that your answers align with the common symptoms of depression, you may want to consider reaching out to a healthcare provider for further evaluation. At Blossom TMS clinic, we specialize in offering advanced, non-invasive treatments like TMS to help you reclaim your mental health.

Scoring Your Results

  • 0-4: It’s possible that you are not currently experiencing significant depressive symptoms. However, even if you score lower, if you're feeling overwhelmed or struggling in other ways, it can still be helpful to talk to a healthcare provider.
  • 5-9: You may be experiencing mild symptoms of depression. It’s worth paying close attention to your emotional and physical well-being. If you continue to experience these feelings, or if they worsen, seeking support from a mental health professional is recommended.
  • 10-14: Your symptoms may indicate moderate depression. If you're noticing these symptoms affecting your ability to enjoy daily life, seek an evaluation with a licensed provider. Treatment options, including TMS therapy, may offer relief.
  • 15 or higher: You may be experiencing significant depression that could benefit from professional intervention. If your symptoms have been persistent, it’s important to reach out to a healthcare provider to explore your treatment options, including non-invasive therapies like TMS.
