DEPRESSION SCREENING

The Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) is a simple depression screening used to evaluate the severity of depressive symptoms a patient may experiencing. This depression screening is not intended to diagnose a condition or take the place of a thorough evaluation. If you are experiencing symptoms of depression beyond two weeks we encourage you to give us a call and schedule an appointment for a comprehensive evaluation.

If you are in a crisis situation, experiencing symptoms of self harm, or suicidal thoughts, we encourage you to call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room or call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-8255
