Depression Scale for Adults

A 10-page printable scale to help you describe what depression feels like in your specific brain and body, in your own words.

You're probably familiar with the Pain Scale. When you're experiencing pain, doctors ask you, on a scale of 1-10, how bad your pain is. I have anxiety and I was looking for a similar scale. I didn't find one that perfectly fit what I needed, so I created one myself. You can find the Anxiety Scale in my shop as well!

I also have depression, and just like any mental illness - it doesn't present the same way all of the time and different people experience depression differently. Some people have suicidal ideation and some people don't. Some people feel an overwhelming sadness and other people feel completely numb. Depression can stop you from getting out of bed but for others, it doesn't.

So I made this depression scale that represents my experience AND it comes with a blank scale so that you can put down YOUR experience.

The purpose of this scale is to help you talk to your therapist, your friends and family, and to manage your own mental health day to day. When you notice yourself moving up the scale, it gives you the chance to ask why. Are your meds due for an adjustment? Is something in your life weighing harder than usual? Have you been forgetting to meet your own needs again? Sometimes just naming it is the start of doing something about it.

This is a communication tool, not a diagnostic or treatment tool. If you're experiencing depression, please work with a mental health professional. This scale is meant to support those conversations, not replace them.

Here's What's Inside:

• 10-page PDF (with a black and white version for easy printing)
• The default Depression Scale (built from my experience)
• A blank scale to fill out with your own symptoms
• The "Feeling Better" worksheet for listing self-care that helps at each level
• Worksheets for each level (1-5) to describe physical symptoms, coping skills, and how each level affects your life and relationships
• A list of suicide hotlines and textlines, just in case
• Digital fill-in enabled (use it on a tablet, computer, or print at home)
