Depression & Anxiety Screening

Two short questionnaires, the PHQ-9 and GAD-7, that many clinicians use as a first check-in. This is a screening, not a diagnosis. Your results appear on this page right away.

Questions? Call (610) 563-2752, 24/7. In a crisis, call or text 988. In an emergency, call 911.

Your privacy: your answers stay on this page in your browser and are not saved or sent anywhere. They are shared only if you choose to fill in the optional follow-up form below and agree to be contacted; then they are emailed to our admissions team so someone can reach out. Analytics, ads, chat and review tools are turned off on this page.

PHQ-9

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

1. Little interest or pleasure in doing things
2. Feeling down, depressed, or hopeless
3. Trouble falling or staying asleep, or sleeping too much
4. Feeling tired or having little energy
5. Poor appetite or overeating
6. Feeling bad about yourself — or that you are a failure or have let yourself or your family down
7. Trouble concentrating on things, such as reading the newspaper or watching television
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. Thoughts that you would be better off dead or of hurting yourself in some way
If you checked off any problems, how difficult have these problems made it for you to do your work, take care of things at home, or get along with other people?
