PHQ-9 Depression Screening

The PHQ-9 (Patient Health Questionnaire-9) is a clinically validated depression screening tool used in primary care and mental health settings worldwide.

This is a screening tool, not a clinical diagnosis. If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts, please contact a licensed mental health professional or emergency services immediately.
