About This Quiz
This self-check quiz follows a basic, responsible, and ethical structure modeled after widely used, research-backed screening tools like the PHQ-9 and GAD-7.
These questionnaires are commonly used by healthcare providers to identify symptoms of depression and anxiety. While this version is simplified for educational use, it helps you reflect on how often you’ve experienced certain feelings and behaviors that may be linked to depression.
The goal is awareness, not diagnosis – to help you better understand your emotional well-being and encourage you to reach out for professional support if needed.
