Daily life feels harder
If concerns interfere with work, relationships, sleep, or caring for yourself, talk with a healthcare professional regardless of your score.
A MOMENT FOR YOURSELF
Mood and anxiety screening:
should you seek support?
Two short check-ins can help you start a conversation about mood or anxiety. They do not diagnose a disorder or decide whether you deserve care.
A starting point, not an answer.
These adult check-ins use the PHQ-2 and GAD-2, brief screening tools about the past two weeks. They cannot assess every condition, determine treatment, or rule out a mental health concern.
If you are under 18, talk with a trusted adult or healthcare professional about your concerns. These results are presented for adults.

BEYOND A SCORE
You don’t need to meet a cutoff to ask for help.
Symptoms persist or worsen
Distressing symptoms lasting two weeks or more are a reason to seek professional help. Severe or rapidly worsening symptoms deserve help sooner.
Something else concerns you
These two tools do not screen for ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma, psychosis, or other conditions. A professional can assess concerns beyond mood and anxiety.
