Severe Depression Test Result: What to Do Next

Answered 14 September 2026 at 4:22 am PKT

A severe score on a depression self-check means your distress deserves prompt attention, but it does not by itself diagnose depression. This page explains what to do next, how to find professional help in Pakistan, and when to seek urgent support.

I scored in the severe range on a depression self-check and I’m worried. How can I get help and what should I do next?

Aapne depression self-check mein severe range mein score kiya hai, aur yeh sach mein mushkil hai. Aapne help lena chaaha, aur yeh ek accha step hai. Aapko professional help aur support dono chahiye, aur yahan kuch cheezein kar sakte hain.

Find a professional to talk to

Aap kisi psychiatrist ya licensed counselor se baat karein. Aap depression.pk ke "Find a professional" section mein ya kisi local clinic mein help dhund sakte hain. Yeh log aapko samjhenge aur treatment options batayenge. Agar aapko kisi doctor tak pahunchna mushkil ho, toh apne primary care doctor se shuru karein, woh aapko refer karenge.

Lean on people who care

Kisi dost ya family member se baat
