Assessment

PHQ-9 Depression Screening

This is a brief, confidential self‑assessment based on the PHQ‑9 — one of the most widely used and validated screening tools for depression. It takes about three minutes. Answer as honestly as you can; there are no right or wrong answers.

PHQ-9 Patient Health Questionnaire

Over the last 2 weeks, how often have you been bothered by any of the following problems? Select the response that best describes your experience for each item.

You are not alone, and support is available. If you are having thoughts of harming yourself or that you would be better off dead, please reach out for support now. In the UK, Samaritans are free to call, any time, on 116 123. In the US and Canada, call or text 988. Wherever you are, you can contact your local emergency services or go to your nearest emergency department. This does not affect the rest of your assessment — please continue when you are ready.

If any of this feels like a lot to carry alone, you don’t have to. I offer a free, no‑pressure initial conversation to see if working together might help.
