STAT Depression Screening PHQ-9 at Mac App Store analyse

I scored a 25, and its actually right cause I actually have depression. It tells/suggests you to do which treatment, if it sees that youre in depression.

Good

It would probly be acurate but some questions are symptoms of ad/hd witch I have and it turned out I have major depression but Im preety sure I have depression but not major.

Poor App, very limited information, unaccurite, impossible to make proper diagnoses w/ such a small screnning test, this App is dangerous!!!

This is a useful and validated screening tool that unfortunately doesnt work. Symptom score is always less than and thus the diagnosis is always "none". Needs to be fixed

The PHQ-9 is a standard and well established screening test for depression that is often used by primary care providers to diagnose and track depression. This app simply duplicates the paper version on mobile devices but it would be much better with a few changes - like being able to save the result for each patient and moving the next button away from the company info one. Based on some of the comments below, this app probably should have a better explanation of how it is scored (or be limited to use by clinicians) since it might not be obvious. It is a two step process Step 1) You need to score at least a 2 (more then half the days) or 3 (nearly every day) in one or both of the first two questions. Step 2) You then need a total of five questions to score a 2 or 3. (including questions 1 and 2) NOTE: Most clinicians only require a positive response 1,2,3 for question 9 - feeling you are better off dead to be positive but this program requires a 2 or 3.

This was surprisingly a good app. I have been having major depression problems. It didnt help me recover from them, but it showed me how to and such. Very helpful.
