Take the Depression Screen

Each patient comes to us with a different set of experiences, symptoms, and body chemistry with a unique response to various medications and other types of therapy. Sometimes a medication or dosage that works for one person will not work for another. The best option may be a non-medication solution such as TMS. We will work closely with you to develop a treatment plan that best fits your needs. As necessary, we will adjust your plan to ensure that you are responding well to treatment and feeling better.

Take a simple, nine-question depression screen below to find out if the symptoms you’re experiencing may be clinical depression. This screen is the Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ9), the industry-wide gold standard for assessing clinical depression. The PHQ9 is one of the tools we use to regularly assess our patients’ progress.

Scores < 4 suggest minimal depression which may not require treatment.
Scores 5-9 suggest mild depression which may require only watchful waiting and repeated PHQ-9 at follow-up.
Scores 10-14 suggest moderate depression severity; patients should have a treatment plan ranging form counseling, follow-up, and/or pharmacotherapy.
Scores 15-19 suggest moderately severe depression; patients typically should have immediate initiation of pharmacotherapy and/or psychotherapy.
Scores 20 and greater suggest severe depression; patients typically should have immediate initiation of pharmacotherapy and expedited referral to mental health specialist.

Scores of ten and higher suggest clinical depression; you may need pharmacotherapy or may be a good candidate for TMS or esketamine nasal spray.
