There are a number of different depression questionnaires that can be used. The PHQ-9 patient questionnaire is effective, as it not only evaluates the severity of depression, but also identifies whether a patient is actually suffering from depression in the first place. You can find the questionnaire here https://edupression.com/phq-test-complete/

We also want to expand internationally, we are looking at the US expansion for the end of 2022. Daniel Amann, Co-Founder and CEO Edupression
