Taking care of your mental health starts with understanding how you’re feeling.

The Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) is a simple, research-based tool used worldwide to screen for symptoms of depression.

This short self-assessment takes only a few minutes. When you complete it, you’ll instantly see your score along with clear, plain-language explanations of what it means. If your results suggest that you may benefit from additional support, you’ll be guided to our contact form so you can easily connect with a provider at Nebraska Peace of Mind.


This screening is intended for educational purposes only. It is not a medical diagnosis or treatment. Only a qualified healthcare provider can determine whether you are experiencing depression and recommend next steps.

If you are in crisis, thinking about harming yourself, or feel unsafe, please call 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline), dial 911, or go to the nearest emergency department right away.
