If you've been asking yourself 'am I depressed?', this free depression test can help you make sense of how you've been feeling. It's based on the PHQ-9 (Patient Health Questionnaire-9), a validated and internationally used depression screen.

You'll reflect on mood, energy, sleep, and interest over the past two weeks. Your result is explained in plain language and is completely private — a starting point for understanding, not a clinical diagnosis.
