Compare calculators
Both calculators run independently β change the inputs on either side to compare results.
Mindfulness Practice Calculator
Calculate your recommended daily mindfulness meditation duration based on stress level, experience, practice frequency, and available time. Use it when building or refining a sustainable meditation routine.
Depression Screening Calculator
Screen for depression symptoms using a simplified PHQ-9 methodology by scoring five core indicators like low mood, sleep issues, and fatigue. Use it as an initial self-check β not a clinical diagnosis.
Depression Severity Score
0 points
0-2 points across these 5 items suggests minimal depressive symptoms; the example score of 0 lands here. No further action is typically indicated by screening guidance.
This is the PHQ-2/PHQ-style sum of 5 items scored 0-3 (range 0-15); the PHQ-9 clinical cutoff for likely major depression is 10 on its full 27-point scale, so treat this short form as a screen only.
