A private self-check

Am I depressed?

It's a heavy question to even ask, and asking it honestly takes something.

This is a short, private check-in based on a screening tool clinicians use. It can help you see where things have actually been lately. It isn't a diagnosis, and it won't label you. Only a conversation with a real person can do that.

  • 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.

If you're in crisis or thinking about ending your life, please don't wait for a questionnaire, call or text 9-8-8 (Suicide Crisis Helpline, 24/7 across Canada), or call 911. Reaching out is the strongest thing you can do.
