This sounds really useful, for working with a persons own care provider. Being able to take this sort of data, tracked over time to a diagnosis or update appointment would be so helpful, for both sides.

Being able to take those quizzes as often as one wants would not render useful data. They’re normalized based on a time period. There is also the issue that a score just below a threshold would then quantitatively not identify the person as having symptoms when clinical judgment would indicate otherwise.

I think what would be even more useful for me would be the ability to pull the answers for one of those questionnaires based on the symptoms I have tracked. My experiential memory is particularly poor and I usually feel like I’m making up answers when I fill these out.

Big +1 on this

Yes! I would love this. I have all of those listed symptoms and that would be wonderful.

Maybe it would have a warning saying to not do it unless you’ve discussed it with a therapist, psychiatrist, or psychologist and gone over the results of the test with one of them before. Doing those kinds of things on your own can be dangerous since you don’t have the training to know how to interpret it. But if you’re regularly seeing a healthcare provider and they give the ok to do it, that’s very different.

Where is this new feature, please? Does tag “new feature” means it is implemented?

This would be really good but I think you would have to vary the questions otherwise people would get used to the same questions.

I think mood tracking is helpful but using validated assessments like the PHQ and the GAD can get tricky. I use these in my practice with clients and there are clinical/ethical issues to take into consideration- if a client of mine hits a certain threshold for scoring then it’s my responsibility to complete safety checks or ask further questions. I understand a statement around these are only for personal use etc. could remove liability, but providing these assessments with our clinical support or interpretation could be detrimental to some individuals. You could consider making it possible to pick specific moods (sadness/anxiety/anger/) and allow users to track the intensity of those specific emotions over time. which would still provide good data and be more precise than a general “how are you feeling” tracker. Something else to consider would be allowing users to track coping skills they may use in response to a higher intensity emotion and if those skills helped or not.
