Validated screening questionnaire • Adults 18+ • About 3 minutes
Check common depression symptoms and get a clear explanation of your result.
This is a screen, not a diagnosis. It cannot tell you which treatment you need. Health, medications, sleep, and substance use may affect your answers.
Answer for yourself. Think about the last two weeks. The questions and answer choices below keep the source wording. You can stop at any time. No clinician is watching your answers or receiving an alert.
No name, email, or phone number is needed. This check-in does not send your choices to admissions or save them in browser storage. General website analytics may still operate. Use a private device when possible. Printing may leave a copy on your device or printer. You choose whether to contact Alpine.
Over the last 2 weeks, how often have you been bothered by any of the following problems?
0 of 9 questions answered.
You reported thoughts of death or self-harm. A total score cannot tell you how safe you are. Talk with a qualified care provider promptly about these thoughts. If you might act on them or cannot stay safe, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. In the U.S., you can call 988 for crisis support. This website does not alert anyone.
The daily-life question is not part of your total score.
Interactive scoring needs JavaScript. Use the source questionnaire linked below with a care provider.
A score does not diagnose or rule out a condition. Ask for help at any score if you are worried, symptoms persist, or daily life is affected. A low score does not establish that you are safe.
Share your result and examples of what is hard with a doctor or mental health professional. Do not change medication based on this result.
