## Online Depression Test
###### The following free depression test is based on the nine-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ9), one of the most commonly-used tools used to measure symptoms and severity of depression.
Completing the test can help you get a better idea of whether you might need help for depression.
**Choose one answer for each of the questions below. Be sure to answer all of the questions.**
We do not keep a record of the results or any identifying information.
**Over the last 2 weeks, how often have you been bothered by any of the following problems?**

#### Disclaimer
This on-line depression test can help you identify symptoms of anxiety, their severity and to know when further assessment may be warranted.
**It will not provide a diagnosis** – for that you need to see an appropriately qualified doctor or mental health professional.
A diagnosis of an anxiety disorder should not be made based on PHQ-9 scores alone.
High [GAD-7](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalized_Anxiety_Disorder_7) scores can occur at very stressful and busy times, but if you are worried about, or troubled by symptoms of anxiety, you should see a health professional to stop symptoms from getting worse.
#### Thoughts of Self Harm or Suicide
If you had thoughts that you would be better off dead or of hurting yourself in some way more than half the days or nearly every day in the last 2 weeks seek treatment from a health professional as soon as possible.
If you or someone you know needs crisis counselling, call Lifeline’s 24 hour telephone crisis support service **[13 11 14](tel:131114)**.
If you are facing a medical emergency from self-harm call an ambulance (**[000](tel:000)**) or go to the emergency department of your local hospital.
