Important Notice

The PHQ-9 is a screening tool, not a diagnostic instrument. A high score suggests you may benefit from professional evaluation, but only a qualified mental health professional can diagnose depression. If you're experiencing thoughts of self-harm, please contact emergency services or a crisis helpline immediately.
