PHQ-9: a private depression self-check

The PHQ-9 is a widely used 9-item questionnaire that screens for depression symptoms over the past two weeks. It takes about 2 minutes, and everything stays in your browser.

This is a screening tool, not a diagnosis. Only a qualified clinician can provide a diagnosis. Your results are informational and meant to help you reflect and start a conversation. If you're in crisis, see our crisis resources.

Private by design — answers never leave this device.
