This tendency is present in you — here is what it sheds light on.

Your answers point to a mood that dips at times — sadness, low spirits or discouragement that are present without being constant — over the past two weeks. This fluctuation deserves attention without being alarming. Talking to your GP can help make sense of what is weighing on you.

Your answers point to manifestations that are present but contained on depressed mood. The moderate level typically reflects an activation at times, often linked to identifiable triggers (stressful situations, relational conflicts, periods of fatigue or isolation). At this stage, the dimension is not dominant in how you function, but it deserves observation: the main risk of the moderate range is that it worsens through accumulation. In concrete terms, watching the frequency rather than the intensity of an isolated episode gives a truer picture of how things are evolving: it is the repetition, more than the one-off strength, that tips the moderate toward the marked. Keeping a regular marker (a brief journal, a conversation with a trusted person) can help you anticipate. Identifying two or three recurring triggers and preparing a simple response in advance — a pause, a phone call, a soothing activity — lowers the chance that the dimension settles in. If other dimensions evolve in parallel, this one can become more salient through a cumulative effect; and if these manifestations gain ground despite your efforts, raising it early with a professional is in no way disproportionate — it is often at this stage that support is the most effective and the shortest.

Your answers reflect a loss of interest and pleasure that is clearly present. They describe a dulling of desire for activities that used to matter — a core symptom of depression, which is not a lack of willpower. Professional support is recommended.

Your answers describe a marked trait on anhedonia. At this level, the dimension can sustain itself through self-reinforcing mechanisms (avoidance, narrowing of attention, or rumination), whose exact form depends on the dimension concerned. This trait typically shows up across several everyday contexts, not only in exceptional situations. Understanding the self-reinforcing mechanism is often the key: for instance, avoiding a situation brings short-term relief but confirms to the brain that it was dangerous, which strengthens the avoidance next time. Spotting this kind of loop in your own daily life — without judging yourself — is already a lever for change, because you can only act on what you have first identified. It may interact with other high dimensions of the profile — for example by worsening the sense of overload or by limiting the resources available to cope. It can be helpful to discuss it with a professional (psychologist, doctor) to explore in more detail what is at play and to identify levers for action; structured approaches such as cognitive and behavioural therapies work precisely on these chains of events, in small, concrete and realistic steps rather than through willpower alone.

Your answers indicate a moderate presence of self-deprecating thoughts, guilt, or difficulty concentrating and deciding. These thoughts can be deceptive: they reflect a state, not a truth about your worth. Talking about them helps you gain perspective.

Your answers indicate a moderate presence of self-deprecating thoughts, guilt and difficulty concentrating or deciding. In depression, these cognitive symptoms are at the heart of the suffering: they are not a reflection of reality but the effect of a depressive filter that darkens the way you see yourself, others and the future. One way of reading it — to weigh against your own experience — is that these thoughts impose themselves with a deceptive force of conviction ('I'm worthless', 'it's my fault') when they are in fact symptoms, in the same way fatigue is. The moderate nature of the score indicates a process that is present but not overwhelming. The most effective lever is cognitive restructuring — learning to spot these thoughts, to put them at a distance and to confront them with the facts —, the central approach of cognitive therapies. And as with any depressive sign, if these thoughts settle in or worsen, talking to a professional is the right decision.

Your answers reflect physical symptoms that are clearly present: sleep or appetite disturbances, marked fatigue, or slowing down. These bodily manifestations are part of depression and are not 'all in your head'. A medical opinion is recommended, all the more so as an examination also helps rule out other causes.

Your answers reflect physical symptoms that are clearly present: sleep or appetite disturbances, marked fatigue, or slowing down. Depression is not only a matter of mood: it takes hold in the body, and these somatic manifestations are often its most tangible signs. One reading hypothesis — to weigh against your experience — is that these physical symptoms and your mood feed off each other: lack of sleep and energy reduces your capacity to act and to feel pleasure, which fuels discouragement, which in turn degrades sleep. The high nature of the score deserves attention. Acting on the body is often an effective entry point (re-establishing sleep rhythms, gentle physical activity, regular meals), but marked somatic symptoms, especially if they last, fully warrant a medical consultation: depression can be treated, and all the better when it is taken care of early.
