About this assessment
The PHQ-9 is one of the most widely used depression screening questionnaires in the world. Doctors and therapists use it to understand how often common signs of depression have shown up recently.
Before you start
- Over the last 2 weeks, how often have you been bothered by any of the following problems?
- There are no right or wrong answers — go with your first instinct.
- Your answers are saved to your account. You decide whether to share them with your therapist.
This is a screening questionnaire, not a diagnosis. If you’re in crisis, get immediate support.
