Apparently WebMD had reliability issues: http://www.cbsnews.com/news/webmds-depression-test-has-only-one-sponsored-answer-youre-at-risk/ http://healtheamerica.wordpress.com/2010/12/14/webmd%E2%80%99s-depression-test-has-issues/

Doing the test showed very different results. It has apparently been redesigned and answering the questions positively gives a reasonable report.
