What PHQ-9 is on this page
This URL runs the PHQ-9 style mood screener: nine questions about how often you felt certain symptoms over the past two weeks. Answers use a standard frequency scale. You get a total and a band on screen. The module is free, private, and kept off the public leaderboard.
No account is required. Take it somewhere you will not be interrupted. If item 9 (self-harm thoughts) is elevated for you, contact local emergency or crisis resources immediately - an online score is not care.
How to read the score
Higher totals map to higher symptom burden bands on the educational scale we show. The number can move with a bad week, illness, grief, or sleep loss. It is a snapshot for reflection and a conversation starter with a professional - not a stamped clinical diagnosis by itself.
PHQ-9 is widely used as a screening aid in care settings; this online version is for education and privacy-first self-check on NeuroLab. It does not replace a clinician, therapy, or medication decisions.
Privacy and next steps
Psychology results here are confidential and excluded from public rankings. If scores stay high across days, seek in-person or telehealth support. You may also look at our anxiety (GAD-7) or stress modules if those fit better - each has its own URL and intent.
For cognitive contrast unrelated to mood, the IQ matrices and vocabulary tests stay on separate product pages so search intents do not mix.
