About This Questionable Project

A scientifically-informed but hilariously dramatic mental health quiz that helps you figure out if your sadness is hormonal, seasonal, or genuinely persistent.

Why This Exists

Because sometimes you're crying in the cereal aisle and you just need to know why.

Is it your hormones playing tricks? Is it the fact that the sun abandoned you at 4pm? Or are you just genuinely, historically sad and need to talk to someone?

This quiz uses real scientific markers for PMDD, Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), and clinical depression — but makes it funny enough that you can share your results without making everyone uncomfortable.

What Makes This Different

Actually Scientific

Questions are based on real diagnostic criteria for PMDD, SAD, and clinical depression. We're funny, but we're not making stuff up.

Genuinely Helpful

Each result includes actual survival tips, coping strategies, and — most importantly — when to seek professional help.

Actually Funny

Mental health content doesn't have to be depressing. We can laugh about the absurdity of our hormones while still taking our well-being seriously.

Brutally Honest

We'll tell you if your results suggest you need professional help. This is for entertainment, but we're not joking about mental health.

Important Disclaimer

This is a lighthearted website. While our questions are based on real scientific markers, this quiz is NOT a medical diagnosis and should NOT replace professional mental health care.

If you're experiencing persistent sadness, anxiety, or thoughts of self-harm, please reach out to a mental health professional or call a crisis hotline immediately.

This quiz is meant to provide validation, humor, and a gentle nudge toward self-awareness — not actual medical advice.
