PHQ-9 Depression Quiz

The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) is a questionnaire assessing the level of a patient’s depression. Taking the PHQ-9 helps healthcare providers determine the severity of the patient’s depression and the best course of treatment.

GAD-7 Anxiety Quiz

The Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) is a questionnaire very similar to the PHQ-9, but it consists of seven questions assessing for anxiety rather than depression. It is now frequently used in clinical settings to evaluate the possibility of a patient having a generalized anxiety disorder.

Y-BOCS OCD Quiz

The Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) is considered the “gold standard” measure of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Taking the Y-BOCS helps healthcare providers assess a patient’s obsessions and compulsions, and if their score is high, the provider will continue to ask the patient to specify what their obsessions and compulsions are about.

MDQ Anxiety Quiz

The Mood Disorder Questionnaire (MDQ) assesses the symptoms of mania, which, in addition to depressive symptoms, is a feature of bipolar disorder. The MDQ consists of 13 yes-or-no questions about manic symptoms, such as energy level, irritability, excessive self-confidence, and risky behaviors, and asks if these symptoms occurred at the same time and how much they interfered with a patient’s daily life.
