Important Notice
If you are experiencing thoughts of self-harm or suicide, please seek immediate help by calling 988 or 911. These tools are not designed for crisis situations. See our crisis resources.
Purpose and Limitations
Self-assessment tools on the Pothos Health website (including GAD-7, PHQ-9, ASRS, ACEs, and related screeners) are screening and educational tools. They are not a diagnosis and do not replace evaluation by a qualified mental health professional.
Not Emergency or Crisis Support
These tools are not designed for emergency or crisis situations and are not monitored in real time. If you are in crisis or need immediate help, call 911 or 988, or go to the nearest emergency room. See our crisis resources.
No Automatic Clinical Relationship
Completing an assessment does not by itself establish a therapist-client or provider-patient relationship with Pothos Health.
Data Use and Retention
Your answers and score are calculated entirely in your browser. We do not receive, collect, or store your assessment responses or results, and no record of your assessment is created. If you would like to connect with our team, you may separately submit a request through our Schedule a Consultation or Contact page. That request, not the assessment itself, is what we collect, subject to our Privacy Policy, Data Retention page, and Notice of Privacy Practices when applicable.
PCL-5 Users
If you use the PCL-5 trauma assessment, also review our PCL-5 Trauma Assessment Disclaimer.
