Screening, not diagnosis: A score is a starting point for discussion, not a substitute for assessment by a qualified professional.
Safety note: One question asks about thoughts of death or self-harm. If you feel in immediate danger, call 911 or go to an emergency department. In the U.S., call or text 988 for crisis support. A response other than “Not at all” on question 9 deserves prompt follow-up with a qualified professional, regardless of your total score.

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

1. Little interest or pleasure in doing things
2. Feeling down, depressed, or hopeless
3. Trouble falling or staying asleep, or sleeping too much
4. Feeling tired or having little energy
5. Poor appetite or overeating
6. Feeling bad about yourself—or that you are a failure or have let yourself or your family down
7. Trouble concentrating on things, such as reading the newspaper or watching television
8. Moving or speaking so slowly that other people could have noticed? Or the opposite—being so fidgety or restless that you have been moving around a lot more than usual
9. Thoughts that you would be better off dead or of hurting yourself in some way
If you checked any problems, how difficult have they made it to do your work, take care of things at home, or get along with others?

Optional; does not affect your total score.
