How to use them

Choose the test closest to what you are feeling, and answer honestly about the period it specifies. Your result appears immediately with an explanation of what it means and a suggested next step. The scoring happens on your device only, so your answers are not sent or saved, and the result is an initial screening tool, not a diagnosis.

  • Most are scientific scales recognized worldwide, and the rest are clearly labeled awareness questionnaires.
  • No registration or personal information is needed.
  • If you have thoughts of harming yourself, contact 16328 or 123 immediately.

Sometimes the hardest part is naming what you are going through. These short tests help you put your feelings and habits into numbers, so you know whether you need specialist advice or whether it is enough to keep an eye on your condition.

Validated scales and awareness questionnaires

Most of the tests here are faithful translations of scientific scales used in clinics and research around the world, such as the PHQ-9 for depression, the GAD-7 for anxiety and the World Health Organization’s AUDIT for alcohol, each with carefully studied score thresholds. The tests for obsessive-compulsive disorder, social phobia, narcissism, anger and mobile phone addiction are awareness questionnaires prepared by our team from well-known diagnostic criteria, and each page explains the type of test and its sources.

How do you read your result?

  • Answer only for the period the test asks about, not your whole life.
  • A high score means a specialist assessment is worthwhile, not necessarily that you have the condition.
  • A low score does not rule out a problem if the symptoms really do bother you.
  • Drugs, alcohol and their withdrawal, and some physical illnesses, can change the result temporarily.
  • Retake the test after two to four weeks to track change.

What comes after the test?

If your result points to moderate or severe symptoms, the next step is an assessment with a psychiatrist who puts the symptoms in context and rules out other causes. A mental health problem often occurs together with drug or alcohol use, and in that case dual diagnosis treatment is the most suitable. The first consultation at Eradah Hospital is free and confidential, around the clock: 01122220495.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about psychological self-tests

Didn’t find your answer?

Ask a specialist directly. The reply is confidential and carries no commitment.

Ask on WhatsApp
Are online psychological tests accurate?

Validated scales such as the PHQ-9 and GAD-7 are accurate as initial screening tools, but they do not replace a doctor’s assessment, which diagnoses on the basis of a full interview.

Are my answers or result saved?

No, the result is calculated on your device only, and your answers are not sent or saved anywhere.

Which test should I start with?

Start with the test closest to what is bothering you. If your symptoms are mixed, the depression and anxiety tests are a good start because they are the most common.

Are the tests suitable for teenagers?

Most were designed for adults. Assessing children and teenagers needs a specialist with the parents involved, and Eradah Hospital receives them for assessment and follow-up.

How often should I retake a test?

Every two to four weeks if you are tracking your condition, or as your doctor directs during treatment.

What do I do if my result is high?

Book an assessment with a psychiatrist, and if you have thoughts of harming yourself, contact 16328 or 123 immediately.
