PHQ-9

The PHQ-9 is a questionnaire used by healthcare professionals to assess the severity of depression. It asks about how often you've been feeling or experiencing certain symptoms over the past two weeks, such as little interest, feeling down, trouble sleeping, or changes in appetite. Each response is scored, and the total score helps determine whether the depression is mild, moderate, or severe. This tool helps doctors understand your mental health better and decide on the most appropriate treatment options. It is a trusted, standardized way to monitor depression over time.
