Sound familiar?
Depression rarely looks the way it does in the movies. Most of the time it’s quiet — which is exactly why it’s so easy to miss.
Everything suddenly takes effort
Getting up, replying to messages, buying groceries — things that used to run on autopilot now feel like climbing a mountain. And nobody sees how much energy a perfectly normal day costs you these days.
You function — but you’re not really living
On the outside, everything runs: work, appointments, small talk. On the inside, it has gone quiet. Things that used to bring you joy now leave you strangely untouched.
Rumination at night, fog by day
Your mind won’t settle, your sleep doesn’t restore you, your focus keeps slipping. A cycle that feeds on itself — until someone puts a name to it.
You’ve heard “just snap out of it” often enough
As if it were a matter of willpower. It isn’t. Persistent low mood follows patterns that can be made visible — and that’s exactly where this screening comes in.
Three dimensions, one honest picture
Depressive symptoms don’t show up in your mood alone. That’s why we look at three levels — and show you where the load weighs heaviest for you.
Burdened vs. Clear
How your thinking is colored: rumination loops, harsh self-criticism, lapses in concentration, and the way you look at your own future.
Depressed vs. Balanced
How your emotional world is doing: low mood, inner emptiness, and the question of whether joy and interest are still within reach.
Impaired vs. Vital
What your body is telling you: sleep, energy, appetite, and drive — the level that gets overlooked most often.

Three steps to knowing where you stand
Answer the questions
21 statements, a 7-point scale, no right or wrong. Answer honestly, based on how you’ve actually been feeling over the past few weeks — it takes about 4 minutes.
We score your answers
We analyze your response pattern across all three dimensions and put your results in context — transparent instead of cryptic.
Understand and act
You see your overall assessment right away. The detailed report then shows you what’s behind it — and which step makes sense now.
Built on established screening instruments
Our screening is based on the PHQ-9 and BDI-II — two of the most widely used questionnaires in the world for assessing depressive symptoms, relied on in research and clinical practice for decades.
Instead of squeezing every symptom into a single number, we distinguish three levels: cognitive symptoms (thinking, concentration, self-image), affective symptoms (mood, joy, inner emptiness), and somatic symptoms (sleep, energy, appetite). 21 statements on a 7-point scale reveal which level is most affected for you — far more insightful than a single overall score.
Just as important: a screening is a structured self-assessment, not a diagnosis. It can help you decide whether talking to a professional is the right step now — but it can’t have that conversation for you.
This screening is a self-assessment tool, not a diagnostic instrument. It doesn’t replace an evaluation by a physician or licensed mental-health professional. If what you’re carrying persists or gets heavier, please seek professional support. In an acute crisis, reach out to a mental-health professional or a local crisis line right away.
Frequently asked questions
About 4 minutes. The 21 statements are deliberately written in plain language — you don’t need any preparation, just a few quiet minutes and honest answers.

The screening is based on the PHQ-9 and BDI-II, two established and extensively validated instruments. It reflects your self-assessment of the past few weeks — the more honestly you answer, the clearer the picture. It cannot and does not aim to replace a diagnosis.
No — and we say that clearly on purpose. Depression can only be diagnosed by a physician or a licensed mental-health professional. The screening helps you make sense of what you’re experiencing and make an informed decision about seeking professional support.
First of all: a high result isn’t a verdict — it’s a signal, and a good reason to be kind to yourself. The report gives you concrete first steps to work with. If your score is high, we also recommend talking to your primary care doctor or a licensed therapist. In an acute crisis, please reach out to a mental-health professional or a local crisis line right away.
Yes. You don’t need an account for the screening, and your result is only accessible through your personal link. Especially with a topic like this: you alone decide who gets to know.
Clarity is the first step — and it takes 4 minutes.
