depression screening
Mood disorder check
Depression screening is a standardized assessment used to identify symptoms of depression, typically through questionnaires or brief clinical interviews.
Healthcare providers use screening tools like the PHQ-9 to detect depression early, especially in patients who might not report mood problems directly: Annual depression screening is now recommended for all adults.
Screening flags people who may benefit from further evaluation, not a diagnosis itself.
