PHQ-9 Depression Screening Tool

The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) is a clinically validated tool used to assess the severity of depression. This self-administered survey is designed to help you evaluate your mental health and determine whether you may benefit from self-help strategies or professional care.

How the PHQ-9 Works

1. Reflect on your experiences over the past two weeks and answer each of the 9 questions.
2. Your responses will generate a total score that corresponds to the severity of depression.
3. Based on your score, you’ll receive recommendations for next steps, including self-care tips or connecting with a professional.
