PHQ-9 Patient Depression Questionaire

For initials diagnosis:  
  1. Patient completes PHQ-9 Depression Assessment.
  2. If there are at least 4 ✓’s in the shaded section (including Question #1 and #2), consider a depressive disorder. Add Score to determine severity.
 

Consider Major Depressive Disorder

  • If there are at least 5 ✓s in the shaded section (one of which corresponds to question #1 and #2)
 

Consider Other Depressive Disorder

  • If there are 2-4 ✓s in the shaded section (one of which corresponds to question #1 and #2)
  Note: Since the questionnaire relies on patient self-report, all responses should be verified by the clinician, and a definitive diagnosis is made on clinical grounds taking into account how well the patient understood the questionnaire, as well as other relevant information from the patient. Diagnoses of Major Depressive Disorder also require impairment of social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning (Question #10) and ruling out normal bereavement, a history of a Manic Episode (Bipolar Disorder), and a physical disorder, medication, or other drug as the biological cause of depressive symptoms.    To monitor severity over time for newly diagnosed patients in current treatment for depression:  
  1. Patients may complete questionnaires at baseline and at regular intervals (eg, every 2 weeks) at home and bring them in at their next appointment for scoring or they may complete the questionnaire during each scheduled appointment. 
  2. Add up ✓s by column. For every ✓: Several days = 1 more than half the days = 2 nearly every day = 3
  3. Add together column scores to get a TOTAL score. 
  4. Refer to accompanying PHQ-9 Scoring Box to interpret the TOTAL score.
  5. Results may be included in  patient files to assist you in settings up treatment goal, determining degree of response, as well as guiding treatment intervention.
  Scoring: Add up all checked boxes on PHQ-9.   For every ✓ Not at all = 0; Several days = 1; More than half the days = 2; Nearly every day = 3   Interpretation of Total Score
