Feeling Low? Take the PHQ-9 Self-Check

The PHQ-9 is a brief, confidential questionnaire that can help you reflect on your mood over the past two weeks.

After completing the questions, you will receive a score While this tool is not a diagnosis, higher scores can be a sign that you might benefit from talking with a mental health professional.

Score:
If your score is 10 or above — or if you answered anything other than “Not at all” to question 9 — we encourage you to reach out. Our caring, experienced team at Finding Solutions Counseling Centers is here to listen and help you find a way forward.

You don’t have to go through this alone. Call us at 703-636-2888, or book a free consultation today.
