Description

The Depression Test is a powerful tool to evaluate depression and monitor treatment response.The test questions are based on Patient Healthcare Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), the most widely used and trusted questionnaire among mental health professionals. The test can be self-administered.

With Depression Test, you can:

- take the PHQ-9 test to screen for depression
- check the severity of your depression
- store the test results and monitor improvements over time
- keep a journal to track your mood
- educate yourself with short, informative articles on Depression
- feel better by using self-guided Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and reframe your negative thoughts
- gain access to high quality depression resources

The CBT exercises include A-B-C, Socratic Questions, Challenge Core Beliefs, and De-catastrophizing. The exercises will help you identify and challenge your cognitive distortions that lead to negative thoughts.

Depression can be effectively treated. Don't wait until things get worse. Find out if you're depressed and then take action.

A great tool for tracking mental health

Ever since 2019 I have been regularly using this app to take the PHQ-9 test and to journal. Scoring high on the test was the thing that made me seek an official diagnosis, and even in therapy I’ve been able to show my therapist the results history for a better understanding of where I’m at and how I’m doing; and what specific struggles need attention in sessions. The option of adding journaling to test results is really helpful for keeping track of the reasons behind changes/severity in your depression. Overall, Depression Test is an app I really appreciate :)

Thanks so much for the feedback. Glad you are finding the app helpful.

Have a question.

I find the app useful, but I have a question. I don’t take the test over the last two weeks, I take the test earlier. Is that a good thing?

Hi Suvetha, nothing wrong with taking the test earlier although it is generally recommended that you take it every other week to give it enough time.
