We can all get #OneStepBetter
Read the results from NDSD 2023
From October 2–8, over 6,100 people took the quiz and checked in with how they were feeling.
Depression is treatable
We focus on depression because it affects one in five people at some point in their lives. It's the leading cause of suffering and disability worldwide. Given that there is effective and reliable treatment, the problem is not how prevalent depression is but rather that less than half of those with depression seek treatment.
Feeling better is within everyone’s reach. Anyone can learn the skills to feel better, one step at a time.
How can this simple quiz help?
When you’re feeling down, anxious, not yourself, it can be difficult to take action and it may seem impossible to overcome these feelings.
But taking one simple step can move someone that’s struggling in the direction of learning the skills needed to tackle these feelings. The NDSD quiz has proven to be that easy, first step towards feeling better.

¹ The screening test does not attempt to offer a diagnosis but points out to participants the presence or absence of depressive symptoms and offers a referral for further evaluation if needed. Individuals can then seek further evaluation with their preferred provider.
