Free mental health screening questionnaires

Reviewed by Albert Wong, PhD, Clinical Psychologist

These are the standard, published screening questionnaires clinicians use, with the exact items and scoring. Each one takes a few minutes, scores itself as you go, and explains what the number means. Everything runs in your browser: nothing you enter is sent or stored.

A screening score is a starting point for a conversation with a professional, not a diagnosis. If you are in crisis, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) in the U.S.

All of these instruments are free to use with clients. Many clinicians give a PHQ-9 and GAD-7 at intake and every few weeks after, which is the core of measurement-based care. The combined PHQ-9 & GAD-7 scorer lets a client take both and download one report, and the PHQ-9 and GAD-7 in private practice guide covers cadence and billing.
