PHQ-9 score, out of 27
100% private. Your family, employer, and community will never know.
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.
Depression is not a sign of weak faith. We match you with a licensed Muslim therapist who understands your values and your family. Sessions are private and over video.
Common questions about the PHQ-9 and what your score means.
