The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) is a clinically validated screening tool used to assess symptoms of depression. This 9-question screener asks about the frequency of depression symptoms experienced over the past two weeks. The PHQ-9 is widely used by mental health professionals to help identify depression and monitor treatment response. This brief self-assessment cannot provide an official diagnosis, but your results can indicate whether you may be experiencing signs of depression and could benefit from a full evaluation by a qualified provider. If you are concerned about depression symptoms, this quiz is a helpful first step in assessing your mental health and determining recommended next steps.
Please note that this quiz is for exploration purposes and no clinical relationship is created between you and Relational Psych by continuing.
