Depression Severity Assessment Calculator
Calculates a PHQ-5 style depression severity score by summing ratings for mood, sleep, energy, appetite, and concentration. Use it as a quick self-screen to track symptoms week-to-week or prepare for a GP appointment.
Depression Severity Score
0 points
0-2 across these five items suggests minimal depressive symptoms this period. On the full PHQ-9 a total under 5 is the 'minimal' band; persistent symptoms still warrant a clinician's input.
These five items mirror the PHQ-style 0-3 scoring; on the validated PHQ-9 (max 27) cutoffs are 5/10/15/20, but this 5-item version maxes at 15, so bands are scaled proportionally and remain a screen, not a diagnosis.
Emotional Regulation Assessment Calculator
Scores your emotional regulation ability (0β10) by weighing emotional intensity, recovery time, coping strategies, self-awareness, and trigger management. Use it to identify which regulation skills need the most development.
