Common questions
Is this a diagnosis of depression or anxiety?
No. The PHQ-9 and GAD-7 are screening questionnaires used by GPs to measure how much symptoms are affecting you. Only a clinician can make a diagnosis after talking with you.
Who should use this check?
Adults aged 18 and over who have felt low, anxious, worried or stressed over the last two weeks and want to understand how much it is affecting them.
Who should not rely on this check?
Anyone in crisis or having thoughts of suicide or self-harm, anyone under 18, people with hearing voices or very unusual experiences, and people already under a mental health team for a severe condition. Please seek direct help instead.
Is what I enter stored?
No. Your answers stay on your device and are never sent or saved. We only count anonymously that the tool was used.
Based on the PHQ-9 (Kroenke et al., 2001) and GAD-7 (Spitzer et al., 2006). These are screening tools that measure symptoms over the last 2 weeks; they do not diagnose depression or anxiety. Nothing you enter is stored, sent or logged.
