The Mood Disorder Questionnaire (MDQ) is a self-screening tool designed to help identify signs and patterns that may be associated with mood disorders, including bipolar spectrum conditions. It asks about experiences such as changes in mood, energy, activity levels, and how these shifts may have affected your daily life.
The Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS) is a short questionnaire developed to help identify signs of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in adults. It asks about common experiences such as trouble focusing, restlessness, forgetfulness, and difficulty finishing tasks. The questions are designed to reflect how often these situations have occurred for you over the past six months.
As part of this blog, I provide readers with access to the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item (GAD-7) scale, a widely recognized self-assessment tool for screening and tracking symptoms of anxiety. The questionnaire is brief—just seven questions—and is designed to help you reflect on how often you’ve experienced common signs of anxiety, such as restlessness, excessive worry, or difficulty relaxing, over the past two weeks.
The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) is a well-established self-assessment tool I provide here on the blog. It focuses on common symptoms of depression and asks you to reflect on how often you’ve experienced them during the past two weeks. These questions cover areas such as mood, sleep, energy, appetite, concentration, and daily functioning.
