PHQ-9, some thoughts
Little interest or pleasure in doing things:
Legit.
Feeling down, depressed, or hopeless:
This needs a modifier for the current situation. Pandemic is an automatic +2; Trump admin was an automatic +3.
Trouble falling or staying asleep, or sleeping too much:
I get an automatic +2 because sleep disorder.
Feeling tired or having little energy:
Disability is an automatic +2.
Poor appetite or overeating:
According to whom, and what medication side effects are in play?
Feeling bad about yourself -- or that you are a failure or have let yourself or your family down:
It's better if your family aren't ASSHOLES; it's better if the world does not insist that you are a failure for things that are inherent to you or things where the world is stacked against you. I usually test 0 on this because I don't hate myself as a default any more, unless something pretty bad has gone down recently, but this one is Extremely Fraught for a lot of people.
Trouble concentrating on things, such as reading the newspaper or watching television?
I get an automatic +2 because of ADHD, and I am currently extremely salty that due to the delay in my diagnosis, I am probably not eligible for the actually effective meds.
Moving or speaking so slowly that other people could have noted? Or so fidgety or restless that you have been moving a lot more than usual?
If I have energy, the disability +2 gets transferred here.
Thoughts that you would be better off dead, or thoughts of hurting yourself in some way:
Legit.
Minimum likely score for me:
6.
