Free Mental Health Screening Tests — Based on Clinical Tools
Our mental health screening tests are built on validated clinical instruments: PHQ-9 for depression, GAD-7 for anxiety, Maslach Burnout Inventory for burnout, and ASRS for ADHD. These are the same tools used by GPs, psychologists, and mental health services worldwide as first-step screeners. Results are instant and confidential. A positive screen is not a diagnosis — it means your symptoms warrant a conversation with a healthcare professional.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can online mental health tests diagnose conditions?
No. Online screening tests measure your reported symptoms against clinical criteria. They can indicate whether a professional evaluation is warranted, but only a qualified mental health professional can make a diagnosis.
What should I do if I score high on a mental health test?
Reach out to your GP, a psychologist, or a mental health helpline. In Australia: Beyond Blue (1300 22 4636), Lifeline (13 11 14), or Headspace. In the UK: Mind (0300 123 3393). In the US: NAMI (1-800-950-6264).
What is the difference between social anxiety and shyness?
Shyness is a personality trait that causes discomfort in social situations but doesn't necessarily impair functioning. Social anxiety disorder is a clinical condition where fear of negative evaluation causes significant distress and avoidance that interferes with daily life, work, or relationships. Social anxiety is very treatable — CBT and exposure therapy have strong evidence.
