PHQ-9 · Validated Clinical Screener
Depression Screener
The PHQ-9 is the screener your doctor uses. Take it here in private. We'll score it, explain it in plain English, and give you a one-page printout to take to a clinician.
Before you start
This is the actual PHQ-9. Same nine questions clinicians use. Validated in hundreds of studies. Your answers never leave this device.
- Takes 90 seconds
- Score updates as you answer
- You'll get a plain-English interpretation
- Printable PDF to bring to a doctor
- Your past scores are saved (this device only) so you can track changes over time
This is a screener, not a diagnosis. Only a clinician can diagnose depression.
