Depression check-in

This short, private check-in (PHQ-9) asks about your mood over the last two weeks. It is not a diagnosis — it is a place to start a conversation.

This is a screening, not a diagnosis. Your answers are scored on your device and are never sent or saved — not even if you ask us to follow up afterwards. For a full picture, talk with a licensed Deaf therapist.

Over the last 2 weeks, how often have you been bothered by any of the following?

  1. 1Little interest or pleasure in doing things
  2. 2Feeling down, depressed, or hopeless
  3. 3Trouble falling or staying asleep, or sleeping too much
  4. 4Feeling tired or having little energy
  5. 5Poor appetite or overeating
  6. 6Feeling bad about yourself — or that you are a failure or have let yourself or your family down
  7. 7Trouble concentrating on things, such as reading or watching television
  8. 8Moving or speaking so slowly that other people could have noticed — or the opposite, being so fidgety or restless that you move around a lot more than usual
  9. 9Thoughts that you would be better off dead, or of hurting yourself in some way
