Self-check

Should I see a psychiatrist?

A quick, validated self-check using the same questions doctors and researchers use. Two minutes. Not a diagnosis — just a starting point.

Below are six questions: two from the PHQ-2 (a depression screener), two from the GAD-2 (an anxiety screener), and two general questions about how you’re functioning. Answer honestly — nothing is saved or sent anywhere.

Over the last two weeks, how often have you been bothered by:

1. Little interest or pleasure in doing things?




2. Feeling down, depressed, or hopeless?




3. Feeling nervous, anxious, or on edge?




4. Not being able to stop or control worrying?




5. Has this been affecting your work, relationships, or daily life?




6. Have you been thinking about hurting yourself or that you’d be better off gone?




This isn’t a diagnosis. The PHQ-2 and GAD-2 are valid screening tools, but they don’t replace a real conversation with a clinician. If you’re concerned about your mental health, please reach out — whether to us, your primary care doctor, or any other clinician you trust.
