Self-check test for depression

The depression quiz is a quick screening tool based on the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) questionnaire. It measures common symptoms of depression, including changes in mood, energy, interest, and motivation. It takes just a few minutes to complete and provides results that can help you better understand what you may be experiencing. The quiz is not a diagnosis.

This quiz is for anyone who has been experiencing symptoms of anxiety and wants to better understand what they may be feeling. If you've noticed ongoing worry, racing thoughts, restlessness, or other signs of anxiety, this quiz can help you decide whether it may be time to explore additional support.

Common symptoms of depression include persistent sadness, loss of interest in activities, fatigue, changes in sleep or appetite, difficulty concentrating, feelings of worthlessness, and hopelessness. If these symptoms persist or become more severe, it may be time to seek professional support.

No. This quiz is a screening tool designed to identify symptoms commonly associated with depression. While it can provide helpful insight, only a licensed mental health professional can diagnose depression.

Feeling sad is a normal response to difficult experiences and usually improves with time. Depression is different because symptoms are more intense, last longer, and can interfere with your daily life. If you're unsure whether your symptoms may be a sign of depression, consider speaking with a licensed mental health provider.

Your results can serve as a starting point for understanding your symptoms. If your symptoms are mild, self-care strategies, like guided breathing exercises, meditation, and journaling, may help you better understand and manage your symptoms. You can access many of these tools in the SonderMind app. If your symptoms are persistent, worsening, or severe, consider talking with a licensed mental health provider.
