Questionnaires like the PHQ-9 and GAD-7 are what many doctors use to check how you are doing. Taking one every few weeks in CareClinic gives you a score you can follow over time, instead of a vague sense of better or worse.

- Tap More, then Pathways, then Tests.

Patient Health Questionnaire for low mood and depression.
GAD-7
Questions about worry and anxiety over the last two weeks.

PTSD and postnatal questionnaires, such as PCL-5 and EPDS.
Take it in a quiet moment
Answer for the period the questionnaire asks about, usually the last two weeks. Your first thought is usually the right answer.
- Tap an assessment, then Tap to start this assessment.
- Answer each question and finish. CareClinic shows your score with a short explanation.
- Tap Post Check-in with Score to save it. If you opened the assessment from Check-in, tap Add to Check-in, then Save Check-in.
Follow your score over time
From memory
"I think I have been a bit less anxious lately."
From your scores
GAD-7 went from 14 to 8 over the six weeks since you started therapy.
- Retake the same assessment every two to four weeks, or as your clinician suggests.
- Open Insights or Timeline to see your scores side by side.
- Bring them to your next appointment, or share a report with your Care Team.
Tip A score is a starting point for a conversation, not a verdict. If a result worries you, talk it over with your doctor or therapist.
