Initialize
We removed the barrier to entry. No account is required to take the assessment. We believe mental health insights should be instantly accessible when you need them most, without forcing you through a registration funnel.
Input
You will answer 9 carefully calibrated clinical questions based strictly on the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) diagnostic criteria. This is the exact same framework utilized by medical professionals globally to screen for depression.
Process
Your responses are processed instantly by our clinical scoring engine. Every calculation is performed with zero telemetry—meaning we do not track your keystrokes, monitor your screen time, or send your answers to third-party analytics.
Output
LifeBack translates your raw responses into a definitive, stratified severity matrix. You receive a clear cumulative score (0-27) along with a baseline clinical recommendation indicating the severity of your depressive symptoms.
Retain
You retain absolute control over the output. You can export it instantly, print it for your doctor, or discard it entirely. If you choose to create an account, the data is saved securely, but you always maintain the right to delete it.
