A private self-check
Am I depressed?
Depression does not always look like sadness. For a lot of men it looks like flatness, irritability, losing interest in things that used to matter, or just feeling like you are running on empty and pushing through anyway. This is a short, private self-check to help you notice whether what you have been carrying might be worth talking about. No account, no email, nothing saved, just a few honest questions and something to reflect on.
- 9 questions, about two minutes. No sign-up, no email.
- Completely private. Your answers stay on this page, nothing is saved, sent, or seen by anyone.
- A reflection, not a verdict. You'll get a sense of where things sit, and a low-pressure next step if you want one.
Based on the PHQ-9, a widely used, validated screening questionnaire.
Over the last two weeks, how often have you been bothered by…
What your result means
However this came out, it is a snapshot of how things feel right now, not a label and not a verdict. What matters more than the number is whether any of this rang true. If it did, that is worth paying attention to, not because something is wrong with you, but because feeling this way for a while is a lot to carry alone.
Worth talking through with someone.
If any of this resonated, the first step is not a commitment, it is a free 15-minute conversation. No pressure, no expectation that you have it figured out. Just a chance to talk about what is going on and whether it might help to keep talking.
