Depression affects all walks of life and is a common form of mental health illness. Some of the common methods to diagnose depression are usually through a session with certified psychiatrist or with the aid of depression rating scales. This paper seeks to provide both clinicians and patients with an Android based mobile application that may store and calculate results based on depression rating scales i.e. DASS and MINI. A novel approach of combining both questionnaire statistics is proposed in one solution. As such, a tablet friendly application that uses a scoring algorithm and a series of psychiatric questionnaires as an indicator to a person's mental state or depression level is developed by means of an android platform. © Institute for Computer Sciences, Social Informatics and Telecommunications Engineering 2013.
