It is for reflection and guidance only. It does not score you, label you or diagnose anything, and a qualified professional is needed for any assessment."},{q:"Is this a depression test?",a:"Many people search for a depression test when something has changed in how they feel. This page is a self-check for reflection and guidance rather than a test with a result. It cannot measure severity, risk or diagnosis, and it is not a substitute for speaking with a professional."},{q:"Can this page diagnose depression?",a:"No. These self-checks are for reflection and guidance only and are not a diagnosis. Only a qualified healthcare or mental health professional can assess and diagnose depression, because assessment considers your history, current experience, functioning, context, safety and support needs together rather than a single page."},{q:"What are common signs of depression?",a:"People commonly describe low mood, losing interest in things that used to matter, tiredness, sleep or appetite changes, difficulty concentrating, withdrawing from others, and feeling heavy, guilty or hopeless. Noticing some of these does not confirm anything. It simply gives you clearer words for a conversation with a professional."},{q:"What is the difference between low mood and depression?",a:"Low mood is a normal human experience that usually shifts with rest, support or a change in circumstances. Depression is a clinical picture that a professional assesses, usually involving persistence, breadth and impact on daily functioning. This page cannot tell you which applies to you, but a consultation can help you explore it."},{q:"When should I seek help for low mood?",a:"It may help to speak with someone if low mood has lasted beyond a short period, if interest and energy have dropped, if work, study, home life or relationships are harder, or if you feel persistently hopeless. If there is any thought of self-harm, seek immediate support rather than waiting."},{q:"Can depression symptoms overlap with anxiety or burnout?",a:"Yes. Stress, burnout, worry and low mood often overlap and can feel similar from the inside. Some people feel overloaded and exhausted, while others feel flat, withdrawn or unable to enjoy things. A conversation with a professional is usually the clearest way to understand what is happening."},{q:"What should I do if I have thoughts of self-harm?",a:"Please treat that as a reason to reach out now rather than to keep reading.

Your therapist or counsellor will explain consent, record-keeping and the limits of confidentiality, including safety concerns or legal obligations where relevant, so you know what to expect before you share anything."},{q:"Do I need a diagnosis before seeing a counsellor?",a:"No. Many people come to counselling simply because something feels different and they want help making sense of it. You do not need a label, a referral or a completed self-check. A first conversation can help you decide whether counselling, medical review or another kind of support fits best."},{q:"What happens in the first consultation?",a:"A 15-minute consultation is a short, practical conversation. You describe what has been happening with mood, energy, sleep and daily life, ask questions, and hear an honest view of what support may fit. There is no obligation to continue, and nothing about the conversation is assessed or scored."},{q:"How do I book a consultation?",a:"Use any Book a 15-Minute Consultation button on this page to open the consultation request form, or message the team on WhatsApp if that feels easier.

A diagnosis is a clinical judgement made by a qualified healthcare or mental health professional after considering history, current experience, functioning, risk and context together. Treat the self-check as a reason to start a conversation, not a conclusion.",category:"quick-answer",page:u,placement:"quick-answer"},{question:"What should I do straight after a depression self-check?",answer:"Write down the two or three changes that stand out and roughly when they began, then decide who to speak with first: a counsellor, a doctor or someone you trust.

It walks through everyday areas that often shift together: mood, interest, energy, sleep, appetite, concentration, self-view and connection with others. The purpose is noticing your own patterns over recent weeks so you can describe them clearly to a professional if you choose to.",category:"what-is",page:r,placement:"body"},{question:"What is low mood?",answer:"Low mood describes stretches of feeling flat, heavy or joyless that most people experience at some point. It often follows pressure, poor sleep, illness or disappointment, and usually eases with rest, support or changed circumstances. When it persists across weeks and affects daily life, speaking with a professional is worthwhile.",category:"what-is",page:w,placement:"body"},{question:"What is included in a professional depression assessment?",answer:"A professional assessment is a structured conversation covering your history, what has changed and over what period, functioning at work and home, relationships, safety and risk, physical health, sleep, medication and your own goals. It happens with you rather than to you, and it is carried out by a qualified professional.",category:"what-is",page:m,placement:"body"},{question:"What is an emotional wellbeing self-check?",answer:"An emotional wellbeing self-check is a broader reflection covering mood, stress, sleep, relationships and coping rather than one specific area. People often use it when something feels off but they cannot name it. Olive Branch Psychology offers it alongside focused self-checks for low mood, anxiety and burnout.",category:"what-is",page:u,placement:"body"},{question:"What is the purpose of a mood and wellbeing check?",answer:"The purpose is orientation, not classification. A mood and wellbeing check helps you see whether changes in energy, interest, sleep and connection form a pattern worth discussing. It supports reflection and guidance only, and any question about clinical meaning belongs with a qualified healthcare or mental health professional.",category:"what-is",page:f,placement:"body"},{question:"What are common signs of depression people search for?",answer:"People most often search low mood, loss of interest or pleasure, tiredness, sleep changes, appetite changes, difficulty concentrating, withdrawing from others, and feeling heavy, guilty or hopeless. Noticing several does not confirm anything. It gives you clearer language to bring to a counsellor or doctor who can look at the full picture.",category:"signs",page:r,placement:"body"},{question:"What are early signs of low mood?",answer:"Early signs are often small and easy to explain away: sleeping less well, replying to messages later, skipping activities that used to be automatic, feeling flatter in the mornings, or finding ordinary decisions heavier. They matter most when several appear together and persist across weeks rather than days.",category:"signs",page:w,placement:"body"},{question:"How does low mood affect sleep and appetite?",answer:"It can move either way. Some people sleep far more and still feel unrested, while others wake early and cannot settle. Appetite may drop so meals feel like an obligation, or rise as eating becomes a comfort. Persistent change in either direction is worth mentioning to a professional.",category:"signs",page:r,placement:"faq"},{question:"How does low mood show up at work in Singapore?",answer:"People describe concentration slipping, tasks taking longer, more effort needed to join meetings or conversations, and less interest in work that once felt engaging. Many keep performing while finding it much harder internally. That gap between output and effort is often the clearest sign that support would help.",category:"signs",page:w,placement:"body"},{question:"What does emotional heaviness mean?",answer:"Emotional heaviness is how many people describe a mood that sits on them physically as well as mentally: slower movement, a weighted chest, less lightness in conversation. It is a description rather than a clinical term, and it is common language among people exploring whether to seek support for low mood.",category:"signs",page:u,placement:"body"},{question:"When should I seek help for low mood in Singapore?",answer:"Consider speaking with someone when low mood has lasted beyond a short period, interest and energy have dropped, work or home life feel harder, you are withdrawing from people, or guilt and hopelessness feel strong. If there are thoughts of self
1-harm, contact emergency services or Samaritans of Singapore on 1767 immediately.",category:"when-to-seek-support",page:r,placement:"body"},{question:"When is low mood more than a bad week?",answer:"When it stops lifting. A difficult week usually eases with rest, company or a change of pace.

It is worth speaking with someone when patience is consistently thin, when you feel disconnected from your children, when tiredness never lifts, or when guilt is constant.

They will not be treated as a result or a diagnosis, and there is no expectation that you complete anything before booking a consultation.",category:"next-steps",page:m,placement:"faq"},{question:"What support is available after a low mood self-check?",answer:"Options usually include counselling or therapy for a confidential space to explore patterns, medical review where physical health or sleep may be involved, and practical support around routine, work and relationships. A consultation helps you compare these calmly rather than choosing under pressure.",category:"next-steps",page:u,placement:"body"},{question:"What is the difference between a depression test and a professional assessment?",answer:"An online depression test is self-guided and offers structure and vocabulary. A professional assessment is a clinical conversation weighing history, current experience, functioning, risk, physical health and your goals together. Only a qualified healthcare or mental health professional can assess and diagnose depression, and no online page can do that work.",category:"comparison",page:m,placement:"quick-answer"},{question:"How is low mood different from burnout?",answer:"Burnout is usually tied to sustained demand and shows up as exhaustion, cynicism and reduced capacity that often eases with genuine recovery. Low mood tends to be broader and less tied to workload, affecting interest and pleasure across life. They overlap frequently, and a professional conversation separates them more reliably than self-comparison.",category:"comparison",page:r,placement:"body"},{question:"How is low mood different from anxiety?",answer:"Anxiety generally involves anticipation: worry, restlessness, a mind rehearsing what might happen. Low mood generally involves flatness: reduced interest, heaviness and less pleasure in ordinary things. Many people experience both together, which is one reason a professional view is more useful than trying to sort the categories alone.",category:"comparison",page:w,placement:"faq"},{question:"Where can I find a depression self-check in Singapore?",answer:"Olive Branch Psychology publishes a free depression self-check alongside self-checks for anxiety, stress and emotional wellbeing. Public resources from HealthHub and MindSG also cover mood and wellbeing in a Singapore context.
