Scale introduction
Depression Test Scale - Flow Depression Scale (CES-D) is a free online test. CES-D was compiled by Sirodff of the National Institute of Mental Health in the United States in 1977. Its original name was the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale. It is widely used in epidemiological surveys to screen out subjects with depressive symptoms for further examination and diagnosis.
