I know they are not entirely correct, however i still took it. I do however have depression and have had it for a long time. Earlier this were i was diagonsed with dysthymia but then i took this test and got these results....

So my question is should i be worried about the SAD and Major depression? is it worth mentioning to my doctor?

Major Depression: Very High
Dysthymia: Extremely High
Bipolar Disorder: Slight
Cyclothymia: Slight-Moderate
Seasonal Affective Disorder: Very High
Postpartum Depression: N/A

I think the boundaries between all these categories aren't as clear cut as the test makes out, so don't worry too much about it.

The question is, does the treatment you're getting help you? If not, or you feel that there could be more done, then go back to your Dr and discuss that with them.

How were you diagnosed with dysthymia? Was it an online test or a doctor? I think you can bring up the test next time you see the doctor, they may have a similar one. I would agree with thumbelina; if you are lower than usual, then it might now be depression.

I think though as a general rule, if someone SI's then they are depressed :\
