Self-checks
Can I check my mood, anxiety or personality here?
Yes. PsychologyOrbit offers the PHQ-9 and GAD-7, the most widely used screening questionnaires for depression and anxiety, and the 50-item IPIP Big Five personality questionnaire, the PHQ-4, the PHQ-15 and the PCL-5 PTSD checklist. All of them are in the public domain. Your answers are scored once and never stored. A screening result is not a diagnosis.
Instrument wording from phqscreeners.com and ipip.ori.org.
PHQ-9 depression screener
The nine-question Patient Health Questionnaire, the most widely used screening measure for how much depressive symptoms have bothered you in the last two weeks.
GAD-7 anxiety screener
The seven-question Generalized Anxiety Disorder scale, a widely used screening measure for how much anxiety symptoms have bothered you in the last two weeks.
GAD-7 anxiety screener (Urdu)
The GAD-7 in its official Urdu translation. Same seven questions, same scoring, same cut-points as the English version.
PHQ-4 anxiety and depression check
Four questions combining the two core anxiety items (GAD-2) and the two core depression items (PHQ-2). A very short first check that points to the fuller GAD-7 or PHQ-9 when either part is raised.
PHQ-15 physical symptoms questionnaire
Fifteen common physical symptoms, from headaches to trouble sleeping. Physical symptoms have many medical causes, so a raised score is a reason to see a doctor, not a psychological explanation.
Big Five personality (IPIP 50-item)
Fifty public-domain statements from the International Personality Item Pool measuring the Big Five personality factors (Goldberg, 1992).
PCL-5 post-traumatic stress checklist
The 20-question PTSD Checklist for DSM-5, from the US Department of Veterans Affairs National Center for PTSD. It asks how much you have been bothered by post-traumatic stress symptoms in the past month, keeping your worst experience in mind.
