8. Tests Can Diagnose You With Depression
Contrary to the myth, there is no definitive test to diagnosis someone with depression.
No blood or urine sample will show your depression. Even paper or computer-generated questionnaires, like the well-known Beck’s Depression Inventory (BDI) are only helpful in assessing a current level of attitudes and symptoms related to depression.
