Take the PHQ-9 Screening
If you’ve been feeling stuck, exhausted, or just not yourself, it can be hard to tell if what you’re experiencing is clinical depression or a rough patch.
That’s where the PHQ-9 screening comes in.
This quick, research backed questionnaire can give you a clearer picture of your mental health and help you understand what’s going on. And the best part? You’ll get instant feedback on your results, plus personalized next steps.
Step 1: Take the PHQ-9 screening
The PHQ-9 (Patient Health Questionnaire-9) is a standard tool used by doctors, therapists, and psychiatrists to measure the severity of depression symptoms. It’s fast, simple, and clinically proven to help determine whether you’re dealing with:
- Mild depression (feeling low, but still functioning)
- Moderate depression (struggling with daily life)
- Severe depression (when symptoms are deeply affecting your ability to function)
Step 2: What your score means
Once you’ve answered the questions, you’ll get an instant breakdown of your score and what it means for your mental health.
- Score 0-4: No or minimal depression (great news!)
- Score 5-9: Mild depression (some low moods, but still managing)
- Score 10-14: Moderate depression (it might be time to seek help)
- Score 15-19: Moderately severe depression (symptoms are interfering with life)
- Score 20-27: Severe depression (you need support now)
No matter your score, there are steps you can take to feel better.
Step 3: Book a consult
If your score suggests that you may be dealing with moderate, severe, or treatment-resistant depression, don’t wait until things get worse. Depression is treatable, and you deserve to feel better.
