Two published screeners

Anxiety and mood check

Two published screeners: GAD-7 for anxiety, PHQ-9 for low mood

The GAD-7 and PHQ-9 are published screening questionnaires, free to use as stated by their distributor. These are screening scores, not diagnoses — a raised score means a conversation with a professional is worth having.
