Introduction  

      This Internet-based Self-assessment Program was designed based on the professional knowledge of many  senior psychiatrists.  Depression will be the second most burdensome illness in the 21^st century. Early diagnosis of the disorder in a more convenient and faster way in order to provide proper treatment is urgent if severe depression is to be prevented. However, people often feel uncomfortable walking into a psychiatric clinic to seek help.  The internet is convenient and private, so we designed a self-assessment program which is safe and meets international professional standards. This program aims to help people identify depression earlier.
