What is this test for?

This questionnaire helps you put words to persistent low mood and long-lasting depressive symptoms and see whether a more specific conversation or professional opinion could be useful. It is an orientation tool, not a verdict.

Who is it for?

For adults answering for themselves, privately, when they want a first marker before choosing a specialised test or talking to a professional.

How does it work?

You answer a short set of statements. The result is computed locally in your browser and gives a gentle reading of what stands out, with next steps and related tests when relevant.

The science behind this test

This MoodTrakr orientation questionnaire is based on the public guidance and references cited below. It does not reproduce proprietary clinical instruments and does not replace a clinical evaluation.

Full transparency

Non-diagnostic orientation questionnaire. The score is not a probability of having a disorder; it is a structured reflection aid.

  • Questionnaire MoodTrakr original, non validé : il ne remplace ni entretien clinique ni diagnostic.
  • La durée, le contexte, les traitements, le sommeil et les événements de vie comptent beaucoup : un score seul ne suffit jamais.
  • Si tu as des idées de mort ou de te faire du mal, contacte tout de suite le 3114 ou le 15.

The reference tests used by professionals

This questionnaire replaces none of the tools used in consultation. Here are the ones professionals actually use:

  • Entretien cliniquele repère central pour distinguer épisode récent, trouble persistant et contexte de vie
  • PHQ-9utile pour situer l’intensité des symptômes dépressifs sur les 2 dernières semaines
