PHQ9 Depression Test Measurement Pt 1

Measuring our depression helps us to understand ourselves. The PHQ9 Depression Test identifies many symptoms including low mood, feelings of hopelessness, low self-esteem, lack of energy and problems with sleep. Quite simply, the greater the number of symptoms that you have, the more likely you are to feel low or depressed.

This is the depression test page with the questions. If you have arrived here first it is best to start on the introductory page here.

To learn more about the importance of the PHQ9 Depression Test, please visit our resources.
