**Disclaimer: We are not Clinicians. We are coaches & facilitators who have, in our interactions with our clients, realised that a lot of them are showing borderline depressive patterns/tendencies. Basis the results of your self assessment we would give certain recommendations.
Since the questionnaire relies on respondent self-report, all responses should be verified by the clinician, and a definitive diagnosis should be made on clinical grounds taking into account how well the respondent understood the questionnaire, as well as other relevant information from the respondent.
