About this score. PHQ-9 (Kroenke K, Spitzer RL, Williams JB. J Gen Intern Med. 2001;16:606-613) is a widely validated depression severity measure. Question 9 is a standalone suicide-risk screen - a "yes" to any degree calls for further assessment by someone competent to evaluate that risk, regardless of your total score.

Why This Screening Matters

Depression Is Common, and It Is Treatable

"Most people living with depression never get an accurate score for how they're feeling - just a vague sense that something is off, for far too long."

What this screens for

The severity of depressive symptoms over the past two weeks, across nine well-studied areas: mood, interest, sleep, energy, appetite, self-worth, concentration, movement, and safety.

Who it is for

Anyone who has felt persistently low, unmotivated, or "off" for more than a couple of weeks - even without a specific reason they can point to.

What happens next

Whatever your result, chat with Afiya or book a consultation. HubPharm's coordinated care team can support ongoing mental health care alongside a specialist where needed.
