Mood check-in

Nine questions about the last two weeks. It takes about two minutes. Nothing you enter is saved or sent anywhere.

PHQ-9 · Patient Health Questionnaire-9 · Screens for depression

Before you start. This is a screening tool, not a diagnostic instrument. It cannot diagnose you and completing it does not create a provider-patient relationship. Nothing you enter is stored, transmitted, or seen by anyone.

Over the last 2 weeks, how often have you been bothered by any of the following problems?

  1. 1.Little interest or pleasure in doing things
  2. 2.Feeling down, depressed, or hopeless
  3. 3.Trouble falling or staying asleep, or sleeping too much
  4. 4.Feeling tired or having little energy
  5. 5.Poor appetite or overeating
  6. 6.Feeling bad about yourself — or that you are a failure or have let yourself or your family down
  7. 7.Trouble concentrating on things, such as reading the newspaper or watching television
  8. 8.Moving or speaking so slowly that other people could have noticed. Or the opposite — being so fidgety or restless that you have been moving around a lot more than usual
  9. 9.Thoughts that you would be better off dead or of hurting yourself in some way
