Depression check (PHQ-9)

The PHQ-9 is one of the most widely used depression screening questionnaires in the world. It asks about nine common symptoms of depression over the last two weeks.

Screening results do not establish a diagnosis. A qualified healthcare professional must perform a clinical assessment.
