Score Range: 0-4

Congratulations! In the past two weeks, you have shown very few signs of depression symptoms.

This indicates that in various aspects of your recent life, such as academics, work, and social interactions, you haven't experienced significant stress and have been able to enjoy your current lifestyle. It also suggests an appreciation for the satisfying days.

How to keep yourself emotionally healthy

Everyone experiences ups and downs in mood, so you should continue to monitor your mental and emotional well-being. Cultivating habits of self-care is essential. You might consider trying different activities, such as exercising during leisure time or reading a book, investing time in your interests to maintain psychological health. Pay attention to what activities bring you the most joy and work on fostering and sustaining your sense of happiness. Maintaining a positive mindset in daily life is crucial.

Simultaneously, consider sharing your happiness with others. Aside from extending your own happiness, spreading joy to others is a fulfilling endeavour. We encourage you to fill out the PHQ-9 questionnaire every two weeks to assess any changes in your depressive symptoms.
