Depression & Anxiety Screening
Screening, not diagnosis. PHQ-9 and GAD-7 are validated questionnaires used in primary care to suggest whether a deeper conversation is warranted. They don't diagnose anything by themselves. Answers stay on this device — no upload, no account. Saving your score is opt-in (off by default).
Over the last 2 weeks, how often have you been bothered by any of the following problems?
1
Little interest or pleasure in doing things
2
Feeling down, depressed, or hopeless
3
Trouble falling or staying asleep, or sleeping too much
4
Feeling tired or having little energy
5
Poor appetite or overeating
6
Feeling bad about yourself — or that you are a failure or have let yourself or your family down
7
Trouble concentrating on things, such as reading the newspaper or watching television
8
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
9
Thoughts that you would be better off dead, or of hurting yourself in some way
About these instruments. PHQ-9 (Patient Health Questionnaire-9) and GAD-7 (Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7) are public-domain screening questionnaires validated in thousands of primary-care studies. Sensitivity and specificity for both are 80–90% at moderate cutoffs. They're commonly given at the start of an appointment so the clinician can focus the visit. Using them at home is a reasonable way to prepare for that appointment, or to track how you're doing across weeks. Not a substitute for a clinical evaluation.
