What objective criteria do you use to diagnose depression and determine the severity? Do you document any improvement on subsequent visits?"
Quickly review and score the PHQ-9 on your device. The PHQ-9 is the nine item depression scale of the Patient Health Questionnaire. The PHQ-9 is a powerful educational tool for reviewing the guidelines for diagnosing depression as well as selecting and monitoring treatment.
There are two components of the PHQ-9:
• Assessing symptoms and functional impairment to make a tentative depression diagnosis, and
• Deriving a severity score to help select and monitor treatment
The PHQ-9 is based directly on the diagnostic criteria for major depressive disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual Fourth Edition (DSM-IV).
Latest reviews of STAT Depression Screening PHQ-9 app for iPhone and iPad
I scored a 25, and its actually right cause I actually have depression. It tells/suggests you to do which treatment, if it sees that youre in depression.
Good
It would probly be acurate but some questions are symptoms of ad/hd witch I have and it turned out I have major depression but Im preety sure I have depression but not major.
Poor App, very limited information, unaccurite, impossible to make proper diagnoses w/ such a small screnning test, this App is dangerous!!!
This is a useful and validated screening tool that unfortunately doesnt work. Symptom score is always less than and thus the diagnosis is always "none". Needs to be fixed
