Online Clinic Assessment Report
This report details your assessment results and recommendations for:

Anxiety
Depression

Part 1- Depression and anxiety results

You appear to have a lot of symptoms of both depression and anxiety at present. Given these results, it is likely that you are
experiencing depression and possibly an anxiety disorder. Depression and anxiety symptoms often appear together, so this
combination is not at all unusual. It is important you understand that both depression and anxiety symptoms are treatable, so you
should be able to get help for each of these issues. Further information and recommended next steps can be found in the following
pages.

Your depression score on the PHQ-9:

Recommendations
Positive on depression and anxiety
You appear to be showing symptoms of both depression and anxiety at present. Depression and anxiety symptoms often
appear together, so this combination is not at all unusual. The good news is that both depression and anxiety are treatable.
However, accurate diagnosis of anxiety and depression cannot be based purely on the result of this online screening. We
therefore suggest that you book an appointment with a doctor to confirm diagnosis. Take a printed copy of this report with
you and book a long (or double) appointment so you have plenty of time to discuss your concerns, options and next steps.
