Depression screen (PHQ-9)

Nine questions about the last two weeks — the standard primary-care scale by Spitzer, Kroenke and Williams. It is a screen: it shows how pronounced symptoms are, it does not diagnose.

Answered 0 of 90%
This is a screen, not a diagnosis. The scale only shows how pronounced the things you marked have been over recent weeks. A diagnosis comes from a doctor or clinical psychologist after talking with you. If the state gets in the way of living, lasts more than two weeks, or thoughts appear that life is not worth living, get help: find a local helpline at findahelpline.com, or call your emergency number.
