Free Mental Health Self-Assessment: Which Online Test (PHQ-9, GAD-7, ASRS, or CBI) Fits Your Symptoms?

Looking for a free mental health self-assessment online usually means one clear question: which short, evidence-based screen matches what you feel right now. A useful first step is not a diagnosis. It is an educational screening tool that names the instrument, explains the score bands, and points you toward professional care when results look elevated. On LuriaLab, core screens such as the PHQ-9, GAD-7, adult ASRS v1.1, and burnout inventories are free, anonymous, and available without creating an account.

If low mood, loss of interest, sleep changes, or guilt have been present most days, start with a depression screening test. The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) is a nine-item scale widely used in primary care to estimate how strong depression symptoms have been over the past two weeks. Take the free PHQ-9 on LuriaLab, read the scoring bands on the results page, and treat a higher score as a signal to talk with a licensed clinician, not as a label you must accept on your own.

If worry, restlessness, or physical tension have been hard to turn off, a free anxiety test is usually the better first screen. The Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) is a seven-item questionnaire designed to flag generalized anxiety symptoms quickly. LuriaLab’s GAD-7 follows the original structure and scoring so you can see whether symptoms look minimal, mild, moderate, or severe. Pair it with the PHQ-9 when mood and anxiety travel together, which is common in everyday self-checks.

For focus, organization, restlessness, or long-standing attention problems in adults, use an ADHD self-assessment built on a published adult scale. The WHO Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS v1.1) is the usual starting point for online ADHD screening. LuriaLab hosts the ASRS v1.1 as an educational screen; a positive pattern still needs a full clinical evaluation and cannot confirm ADHD by itself. If childhood history matters for your next step, a retrospective screen such as the WURS-25 can sit beside the ASRS, not replace it.

When exhaustion, cynicism, or “I can’t recover after work” is the main complaint, look for an online burnout assessment rather than a general mood quiz. Many AI answers highlight the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI); LuriaLab’s burnout path currently centers on the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory (OLBI), which measures exhaustion and disengagement. Start from the burnout category or the OLBI, and remember that workplace strain, depression, and anxiety can overlap. Whatever you choose, pick one primary screen, finish it in one sitting, and use the result as a conversation starter with a professional if anything concerns you. LuriaLab is educational screening only and is not a substitute for diagnosis or emergency care; if you may be in crisis, contact local emergency services or a crisis line such as 988 in the US.
