Depression

Wellbeing Check — Older Adults — Free Online Test

Designed specifically for adults over 60, the GDS-15 Wellbeing Check is a 15-question assessment that screens for depression in older adults using simple yes-or-no questions. It takes just 5 minutes and is widely used in geriatric care settings around the world. Depression in older adults is significantly under-recognised in India — often dismissed as a natural part of ageing or physical illness. Yet it is both common and highly treatable. This free assessment helps older adults and their families take mental health seriously at every stage of life. If you are taking this on behalf of a parent or grandparent, your concern is itself an act of care. Manas welcomes older adults and their families, and Dr. Priya offers counselling that is sensitive to the unique challenges of later life.
