(Note: Questions three and six does not need to be answered if the response to the preceding question was ‘none of the time’. In such cases questions three and six will receive an automatic score of one. )

Why is this important?

These ten questions measure how distressed you’ve been recently by looking at signs of depression and anxiety.

It’s a measure of distress commonly used by Australian GPs and mental health professionals to determine the level of support you may require.

After completing this checklist, you can print your score for your records or give it to your GP.
