Four validated, public-domain questionnaires used in adult psychiatric care. None of them diagnose anything — but they give you (and a clinician) a useful, structured starting point. Print your results to bring to your first visit.
The Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (Part A) — six questions developed by the World Health Organization and used in adult ADHD evaluations.
The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 — the most widely used measure of depressive symptoms in primary care and psychiatry.
The Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 — a brief, well-validated measure of anxiety symptoms over the past two weeks.
The PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 — a 20-item measure of post-traumatic stress symptoms over the past month.
The Mini Social Phobia Inventory — a three-item screener for generalized social anxiety disorder, with a validated cutoff of 6.
You answer the questions on a simple Likert scale — click the option that fits best for each question. When you're done, you'll see a score, an interpretation band, and a printable results page you can bring to your first visit.

About the scoring: All four scales use standard, published scoring rules. The interpretation bands describe symptom severity ranges — not diagnoses. A diagnosis requires a clinician's evaluation.
In crisis? If you're having thoughts of harming yourself, please call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline), call 911, or go to your nearest emergency room. The screeners on this page are not for emergencies.
A screener flags a pattern. A clinical evaluation tells you what's actually going on, what else might look similar, and what to do next.
All four instruments here are the same public-domain tools used in clinical practice — not quizzes written for a website. The ASRS was developed with the World Health Organization, the PHQ-9 and GAD-7 are the standard depression and anxiety measures in primary care, and the PCL-5 comes from the VA National Center for PTSD. Taking them online gives you the same score a clinician would calculate in an office.
What screening does well: it turns a vague sense that something is wrong into a specific number, in language a clinician recognizes. It gives you a baseline to measure against later. And it often surfaces the thing you weren’t going to bring up.
What it can’t do is diagnose. Every one of these measures symptom intensity over a recent window — none assess duration, functional impairment, or the medical and situational causes that produce identical scores. An elevated depression score can reflect a thyroid problem, sleep apnea, grief, a medication side effect, or bipolar rather than unipolar depression. Sorting that out is what an evaluation is for.
Nothing you enter is transmitted to us or stored on a server — every screener runs entirely in your browser, and no account is required. Print or save your results to bring to a first appointment.
