Patient Health Questionnaire - 9
Depression symptom screening and outcome monitoring.
How Lirena uses PHQ-9
Lirena presents PHQ-9 as a structured assessment workflow with assignment, completion, deterministic scoring support, and clinician-reviewed output. The public page describes metadata and operational use only; it does not reproduce protected item wording beyond approved source material.
- 9 item workflow
- Patient response pathway
- Score range 0-27
Clinical boundary
Includes item-level suicide-risk review. Scores are screening support, not a diagnosis.
Assessment scores support clinical review, formulation, documentation, and follow-up. They do not diagnose a condition by themselves.
Governance notes
Clinics should verify official wording, licences, scoring manuals, local policy, and clinician competency before using an instrument in production.
