In order to personalize the Calm Health experience, we ask all Calm Health users to fill out a quick survey about your thoughts and feelings over the last two weeks. These questions are based on the PHQ-9 and GAD-7, which are effective, clinically valid, and industry standard screenings for mental health.
The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) and Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) are both widely used screening tools in the field of mental health. They are designed to assess the severity of symptoms related to depression and generalized anxiety disorder, respectively.
The PHQ-9 is a self-report questionnaire consisting of nine questions that measure the presence and severity of depressive symptoms. It covers various aspects of depression, including feelings of sadness, loss of interest, changes in appetite or sleep patterns, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating. Each question is scored from 0 to 3, with higher scores indicating more severe depressive symptoms.
On the other hand, the GAD-7 is a questionnaire that assesses the severity of generalized anxiety disorder symptoms. It consists of seven questions that cover symptoms such as excessive worry, restlessness, difficulty controlling worry, and physical symptoms associated with anxiety. Similar to the PHQ-9, each question on the GAD-7 is scored from 0 to 3, with higher scores indicating more severe anxiety symptoms. More about GAD-7 and PHQ-9 from NCBI.
It's important to note that while these screening tools can be helpful in identifying potential mental health concerns, they are not diagnostic tools on their own. A comprehensive evaluation by a qualified healthcare professional is necessary to make an accurate diagnosis and develop an appropriate treatment plan based on individual needs.
This survey is one of the most important features of the Calm Health app — it helps us learn more about you and allows us to tailor the experience to fit your needs.
Please take the time to complete the screening. We recommend retaking the screening every four weeks. This will help track your progress over time and allow Calm Health to continue recommending content that is relevant to your needs.
Your care plan consists of a collection of program recommendations personalized for you based on your mental health screening results, goals, topics, or conditions.
CBT, ACT, and DBT are all therapeutic approaches that are commonly used in the field of mental health to treat various psychological conditions. Here's a brief explanation of each:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a widely practiced form of therapy that focuses on identifying and modifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a therapeutic approach that aims to help individuals accept and embrace their thoughts and feelings, while still taking action towards a meaningful life.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) was initially developed to treat individuals with borderline personality disorder, but it has since been applied to other mental health conditions as well.
Each of these therapeutic approaches has its own unique focus and techniques, but they all aim to support individuals in improving their mental health and well-being. The choice of therapy may depend on the specific needs and preferences of the individual.
