A real check-in,
not a personality quiz.
These are the actual screening instruments used in clinics worldwide, scored the way the research defines. Answer honestly and you get a score, what that range typically indicates, and a straight answer about what to do next.
Tip: press 1–5 to answer, Backspace to go back.
One score is a dot. Ten is a line.
A single result tells you about today. Tracking the same screener over weeks tells you whether things are actually moving — which is the part that matters, and the part Mind Matter is built to do.
Mind Matter includes 18 validated screeners, mood tracking, journaling and self-guided CBT and DBT programs.
About these instruments
Why only these three?
The app ships eighteen validated screeners. Only three appear on this public page — the ones whose licences unambiguously permit free commercial use. The rest are free for clinical and research use but have not been cleared for a commercial website, so they stay in the app rather than being reproduced here.
PHQ-9 · Mood
Nine items on depressive symptoms over two weeks. Public domain. Kroenke, Spitzer & Williams, J Gen Intern Med, 2001.
GAD-7 · Anxiety
Seven items on generalised anxiety over two weeks. Public domain. Spitzer, Kroenke, Williams & Löwe, Arch Intern Med, 2006.
ASRS · Focus
The WHO's six-question adult ADHD screener, scored with its real per-item thresholds rather than a naive sum. Kessler et al., 2005.

Thinking honestly about how you have been can surface more than you expected. If you are struggling right now, you do not have to wait until you have finished a questionnaire.
