The PHQ-9 is the instrument this site is built around: nine items, each scored 0 to 3 for the last two weeks, giving a total out of 27 and one of five severity bands. The GAD-7 is offered alongside it because anxiety and depression very often travel together and a doctor will usually want both. A screen tells you how strongly symptoms are present not a diagnosis — only a professional can diagnose. Everything is worked out on your own device; nothing is saved or sent anywhere.
