FAQ about the depression test
It is based on the PHQ-9, the nine-item screening questionnaire used by clinicians and health services worldwide to assess the severity of depressive symptoms.
No. A screening tool indicates whether your symptoms are consistent with depression and how severe they appear, but only a licensed clinician can make a diagnosis after a proper assessment.
About two minutes. It is nine questions about how you have felt over the past two weeks.
If the result suggests mild symptoms, self-care and monitoring may be enough. If it suggests moderate or severe symptoms, or if you have had thoughts of harming yourself, speak to a professional. Therapsy offers a free first call with a licensed therapist who speaks your language.
Yes. The test is anonymous: your answers are not linked to your identity and no email is required to see the result.
The test is in English, but therapy at Therapsy is available in 14 languages, so you can discuss your result with a therapist who speaks your native language.
A high score means your symptoms deserve attention, not that something is irreparable. Depression is among the most treatable mental health conditions. The recommended next step is a conversation with a licensed professional – at Therapsy the first call is free.
