Can this test help you find out if you’re at risk of depression?

The simple test basically asks which face you are drawn to, the angry expression or the happy expression?

Researchers found that those who were naturally more drawn to angry or ‘critical’ expressions were more at risk of suffering from depression.

Brandon Gibb, who works as professor of psychology at Binghamton University, told the Metro: “What we showed is if your attention is drawn to people who appear to be angry with you or critical of you, then you’re at risk for depression.”

“I think the most interesting thing about this is that we followed these women for two years, and the women who are paying attention to angry faces are the most likely to become depressed again, and they become depressed in the shortest amount of time.”

Leader of the study Mary Woody added: “It’s a very important first step in developing a new line of treatment for people who are at risk for depression and for who currently have depression.

“Some people might be able to use this instead of traditional therapy or could use it as an adjunct to traditional treatment.”
