Depression Quiz

About The Quiz

This quiz is based on the well-known PHQ-9 (Patient Health Questionnaire), a 9-item depression module for assessing depression disorders corresponding to specific DSM-IV diagnoses. Peaks Recovery Centers utilizes this method when completing patient intakes to ensure the correct diagnoses and placement within our levels of care.

Please note that this quiz is to help you identify common symptoms of depression and their severity and will result in giving you follow-up actions for you to consider. It does not represent a formal diagnosis of depression and should not be taken as medical advice. If you feel that the depression quiz results are accurate, you should consult with a healthcare professional.
