PHQ-9: mood over the last two weeks

Feeling low, losing interest, tiredness

This is a screening questionnaire, not a test that gives a diagnosis. Only a professional can do that.

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
If you checked off any problems, how difficult have these problems made it for you to do your work, take care of things at home, or get along with other people?

How it works

  • Pick a questionnaire and answer for the time it asks about (the last two weeks, or the last seven days for EPDS).
  • You see your score and what that range usually means. Only a professional can diagnose; the score is a starting point for a conversation.
  • You can save the score with the date on this phone, to show a doctor or to compare later.
  • If you answer that you have had thoughts of harming yourself, we show you real help straight away.

Questions people ask

Is my score a diagnosis?

No. These questionnaires are for screening. A high score means it is worth talking to a doctor, psychologist or Tele-MANAS, who can understand your whole situation.

Why is there no ADHD test?

The common adult ADHD screener has licence terms we have not been able to confirm, so we do not include it. The focus kit and the parents and teachers guide explain how assessment works in India.

Is what I write private?

Everything you write stays on this phone. Nothing is sent to us or anyone. You can lock it with a passphrase, leave in one tap, or delete it all.
