About the PHQ-9

The PHQ-9 (Patient Health Questionnaire-9) is one of the most widely used and validated depression screening tools. It scores 9 symptoms over the past 2 weeks, mapping to severity levels from "minimal" to "severe."

This test uses the 9 standard PHQ-9 items (scored) plus 6 contextual prompts (for nuance). You'll get a reference score out of 27, level interpretation, and tailored self-care tips.

IMPORTANT: This is a screening tool, not a diagnosis. If your score is high or if you're struggling, please consult a mental health professional. Crisis resources are shown when applicable.
