Probably, you have no walking depression!
You can hardly be called a sad, unhappy person. You know how to have fun, to find something good in every day and stay vivacious in spite of petty annoyances! One can take lead from you! Share the test, maybe someone from your friends would decide to take this test too :)
You should take more care of your health
Most likely, you don't have chronical depression but you need to take care of your condition. Psychiatric health, as well as the physical one, needs care and attention too. That's why you shouldn't brush aside help. A psychologist's consultation and regime correction will probably improve your mood and state in general. Share the test, maybe someone from your friends would decide to take this test too :)
You probably need to visit a specialist
If your depressed state lasts for more than 1 year, the help of a psychotherapist will likely bring you back to life. Great depression and walking depression are the same diseases as others, that's why we recommend visiting a specialist. We're sure you're a strong person! Wish you good health!
