This checklist has been constructed to help explore further whether you may be affected by a clinical depression. For further information, please contact the Mental Health Center of North Iowa or another mental health professional. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders—Fourth Edition identifies not one but a number of conditions that may be defined as a type of depression or that carry depressive features.
