Mood & Depression Self-Screening

A self-screening questionnaire covering common low-mood symptoms over the past two weeks — energy, interest, sleep and self-view. This is an educational self-assessment, not a diagnostic instrument, and it cannot replace professional assessment.

20 questions~ 8 minutes5-point agreement scale

This is a screening and self-assessment tool. It cannot diagnose any condition and is not a substitute for assessment by a qualified professional.
