Use this app to assess whether you may be depressed and make a tentative diagnosis of the severity of the depression.

This app is based on the PHQ-9 screener, a diagnostic tool specific to depression used by health care professionals that is quick and easy for patients to complete.

The app also provides useful information on depression and antidepressants taken from Patient.co.uk. Each information leaflet is written by an expert authoring team of independent GPs, and passes the information standard - which means it is trusted, high quality, evidence-based health information.

The app features:

* Depression screener based on PHQ-9

* Make a tentative diagnosis of the severity of the depression

* Useful information on depression from Patient.co.uk

PLEASE NOTE - THE APP REQUIRES A 3G OR BROADBAND CONNECTION TO VIEW THE LEAFLETS. This is to ensure our most up to date content is downloaded and the data remains part of our information standard review process.
