Tracking symptoms with a simple questionnaire
Your treatment should be guided by a simple symptom questionnaire (like the PHQ-9 or GAD-7) repeated over time, not just by impression.
Across de-identified U.S. psychiatric records, we found this step was missed about 76% of the time it should have happened.
This page is here to help you know what to ask about. It is not medical advice, and you should never start, stop, or change a medication on your own. Bring these questions to a doctor who knows you.
Questions to ask your doctor
Copy a line and ask it at your next visit. These are questions to start a conversation, not instructions to change your treatment.
- Could we use a short symptom questionnaire to track how I'm doing over time?
- Can we compare my scores between visits to see if treatment is working?
