Are Teen Depression Tests Accurate?

Teen depression tests are scientifically validated tools and are generally reliable. The accuracy of the test depends a lot on the honesty of the teen’s responses and professional’s interpretation. It is also the reason professionals treat the test as a guide, and not a final diagnosis. When tested properly, it is a strong and reliable way to identify whether further evaluation is needed.

What Happens After Teen Depression Assessment?

After a teen depression assessment, the next step is analyzing the results and identifying the severity of the disease. On the basis of the severity, the psychologist or the psychiatrist will recommend counselling/therapy sessions, make parents aware on how they can support the child in the treatment phase and follow-up care to monitor the progression of treatment.
