Anxiety, depression, burnout and more
It is often hard to put into words what you have been feeling. These are the same questionnaires used in consultation, and that is what they are for: giving a name and a measure to what is going on. They take two minutes and the result appears here, on screen.
Not sure where to start? Pick the one closest to what bothers you day to day. You can take more than one.
Anxiety
The GAD-7 is a seven-question questionnaire used in healthcare to screen for symptoms of generalised anxiety. It was developed by Spitzer and colleagues in 2006.
Depression
The PHQ-9 is a nine-question questionnaire used in healthcare to screen for depressive symptoms. It maps to the DSM criteria for depression.
Burnout
The Copenhagen Burnout Inventory measures physical and emotional exhaustion. These six questions are the personal burnout scale, the one that does not depend on a work context.
Post-traumatic stress
The PCL-5 is the post-traumatic stress symptom checklist used with the DSM-5 criteria. It was developed by the National Center for PTSD.
Wellbeing
The WHO-5 is the World Health Organization wellbeing index. It has only five questions and, unlike the others here, a high score is the good news.
Alcohol use
The AUDIT was developed by the World Health Organization to identify risky drinking before dependence sets in.
ADHD
The ASRS v1.1 was developed by the World Health Organization with researchers at Harvard University. These six questions are the screener, the ones that best predict the result of the full eighteen-question version. Reprinted with permission of the World Health Organization.
These questionnaires are for screening, not for diagnosis. A high score does not mean you have an illness, and a low score does not rule out needing help. Diagnosis is made by a professional, in a consultation.
The test is scored in your browser. Nothing is sent to us or stored, and you do not need to give a name or an email to see the result.
