Depression severity

Patient Health Questionnaire-9 · 9 questions · about two minutes

Nine questions about how you have been feeling. It is the instrument most GPs and therapists use, so a printed result is something they will recognise immediately.

Answered on this device and scored here. Nothing you tick is sent to us — only the final number and the date are saved, and only in this browser.

Over the last two weeks, how often have you been bothered by any of the following?

  1. 1.Little interest or pleasure in doing things
  2. 2.Feeling down, depressed, or hopeless
  3. 3.Trouble falling or staying asleep, or sleeping too much
  4. 4.Feeling tired or having little energy
  5. 5.Poor appetite or overeating
  6. 6.Feeling bad about yourself — or that you are a failure, or have let yourself or your family down
  7. 7.Trouble concentrating on things, such as reading the newspaper or watching television
  8. 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. 9.Thoughts that you would be better off dead, or of hurting yourself in some way
