Free Mental Health Self-Check (2 Minutes, No Login)

This free mental health self-check takes about 2 minutes, needs no login to start, and gives you a clear snapshot of where your mind is right now — plus three specific next steps. It's a reflection tool, not a diagnosis.

The short version

  • A short self-check is not a diagnosis. It's a mirror.
  • Knowing what kind of struggle you're having is the first step to choosing the right kind of help.
  • Our 2-minute check is free and gives you a clear snapshot plus three personalized suggestions.

Most people wait an average of 11 years between noticing a mental health struggle and getting help. Often because they're not sure how bad it is, or whether it "counts." A self-check won't diagnose you, but it will give you language for what you're experiencing — and that's usually the first thing that changes.

What our check measures

Eight short questions, inspired by validated short scales used by clinicians (PHQ-2 and GAD-2). It looks at mood, anxiety, sleep, focus, and how much these are getting in the way of your life. Your answers stay on your device until you choose to save them.

What you'll get

  • A wellbeing snapshot in plain English
  • Three specific suggestions tailored to your pattern
  • Clear guidance on whether self-help is enough — or whether it's worth talking to someone

What it isn't

It's not a diagnosis. It's not a replacement for a clinician. It's a mirror — a kind, structured one — that helps you see where you are so you can make a better next move.

"You can't change what you can't see. Most people are surprised by how much clarity comes from just naming it."

Frequently asked questions

What is a mental health self-check?

It's a short set of reflective questions — inspired by tools clinicians use, like PHQ-2 and GAD-2 — that help you notice patterns in your mood, anxiety, and sleep so you know what to focus on.

Is the self-check a diagnosis?

No. It's a private snapshot to help you understand how you've been feeling and decide on next steps. It doesn't diagnose anything and isn't a substitute for a professional assessment.

How long does the self-check take?

About two minutes — eight short questions. You can start without signing up, and your answers stay on your device until you choose to save them.
