Depression Screening (PHQ-9)

This quick screening tool can help you decide whether an evaluation may be helpful.

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

1. Little interest or pleasure in doing things
2. Feeling down, depressed, or hopeless
3. Trouble falling asleep, 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, watching TV, conversations, or work tasks
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 more than usual
9. Thoughts that you would be better off dead, or of hurting yourself in some way

If you are in crisis, feel unsafe, or are having thoughts of harming yourself, call 988 or 911 immediately.
