Depression Self-Assessment Quiz

Though the “How to Know If You’re Depressed Quiz” and Depression Self Assessment you just took does not provide you with a medical diagnosis, it is a great tool in measuring the severity of depression. The PH9 depression questionnaire is designed to rate depression as one of five levels of severity: none, mild, moderate, moderately severe, and severe. Your rate is based on how you answered the questions as they all relate to common characteristics of depression.

Your answer is given a numerical value with “not all” equaling 0, “several days” equaling 1, “more than half the days” equaling 2, and “nearly every day” equaling 3. The following details each of the PH9 Depression Questionnaire scores, the meaning behind them, and how to proceed with treatment. 

None (0-4)

Those who got four points or less on their PH9 Depression Questionnaire typically do not have depression. However, this is not a medical opinion. If you think you have depression, please get professionally evaluated as soon as possible. 

Mild (5-9)

Mild depression could become more serious if left untreated. If your result was mild depression then you should assess the signs and symptoms that led you to take the “How to Know If You’re Depressed Quiz.” If you have any concerns about your mental health, the best thing you can do is ask for help. 

Moderate (10-14)

If your PH9 Depression Questionnaire indicated that you have moderate depression you should seek help from a medical professional as quickly as possible as your depression is undoubtedly affecting your quality of life. 

Moderately Severe (15-19)

Those with moderately severe depression are most likely affected on a daily basis. This indicates that your need for treatment has gotten to an undeniable point, and the time to seek help is now.

Severe (20-27)

If the “How to Know If You’re Depressed Quiz or Depression Self Assessments results suggested that you have severe depression, then you have most likely been fighting your depression for a long time. Thankfully, treatment is available and relief is within reach. 

No matter your score, if you are struggling with thoughts of self-harm or suicide, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline immediately.
