Free test · PHQ-15
Fifteen questions show how much physical symptoms such as pain, tiredness, poor sleep and stomach trouble have bothered you over the last 4 weeks. The score tells how heavy the load is and whether to talk it over with a doctor. It is a screen, not a diagnosis.
Check the box to start.
The PHQ-15 lists 15 common physical symptoms. Each is scored 0 (not bothered at all), 1 (bothered a little) or 2 (bothered a lot), for a total of 0 to 30. Cutoffs of 5, 10 and 15 mark low, medium and high symptom severity (Kroenke, Spitzer and Williams, 2002). Question 4 is for women only.
Physical symptoms have many causes, from illness to stress. The score does not say which. Only a doctor can sort that out, after an exam.
Your score is calculated right in your browser. Your answers reach our server only if you ask for your result by email: we write the email and do not keep them.
Question 4 is for women only. If you are not a woman or it does not apply, choose the first answer, “Not bothered at all.” The same cutoffs are used. If low mood or worry goes with the symptoms, see also: Depression test
