Choose a private, educational self-screening questionnaire that fits your situation.
These tools can help you notice symptom patterns and prepare for a conversation with a qualified professional. They do not diagnose depression or replace an evaluation.
Choose PHQ-2 for a quick initial check. Choose PHQ-9 when you want a fuller view of nine depression symptoms and their severity over the past two weeks. Neither questionnaire provides a diagnosis.
Answer based on the time period stated in each questionnaire. Your answers and results stay in local storage on this device.
