PHQ-9 Depression Screening
The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 is a validated screening tool used to assess the severity of depressive symptoms over the past two weeks.
This is a validated screening instrument for informational and self-monitoring purposes only. It is not a diagnostic tool and does not replace professional clinical evaluation. If you are in crisis, contact 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline or call 911.

Little interest or pleasure in doing things
Feeling down, depressed, or hopeless
Trouble falling or staying asleep, or sleeping too much
Feeling tired or having little energy
Poor appetite or overeating
Feeling bad about yourself, or that you are a failure, or have let yourself or your family down
Trouble concentrating on things, such as reading the newspaper or watching television
Moving or speaking so slowly that other people could have noticed, or the opposite: being so fidgety or restless that you have been moving around a lot more than usual
