PHQ-9 score, out of 27
100% confidential. No one will know: not your family, employer, or community.
The PHQ-9 is a symptom severity screen, not an independent diagnosis. A score of 10 or higher is a commonly used threshold for further evaluation, and only a licensed therapist or doctor can confirm a diagnosis. Your answers are not stored or sent anywhere.

The PHQ-9 is a nine-question screening tool doctors and therapists use to check for depression and how severe it is. It asks how often you've had common symptoms over the last 2 weeks. It can't diagnose depression, but it's a reliable first step.
We match you with a licensed therapist online, in English, Arabic or another language you prefer. Sessions are 100% confidential and fit around work.
