About this check

The WHO-5 is a short, positive-phrased check-in on how you have been feeling in the last two weeks. Unlike most mental-health scales, it asks about what is going well rather than what is going wrong. A low score can be an early signal of depression.

Important: This is a general wellbeing screener, not a diagnosis. A low score is worth paying attention to, but it does not by itself mean you have a mental-health condition.

What your score means

Very low wellbeing · score 0–7

Your score is at or below the cutoff that researchers use to flag likely depression. The WHO-5 was not designed to diagnose, but a score this low is a strong nudge to check in on your mental health more carefully.

Low wellbeing · score 8–12

Your wellbeing right now is in the lower range. Many people in this zone describe feeling flat, tired, or disconnected from things that used to give pleasure.

Moderate wellbeing · score 13–18

Your wellbeing is in a moderate range. Not bad, not great — most people dip in and out of this zone.

Good wellbeing · score 19–25

Your wellbeing is in a good range — you are generally feeling cheerful, calm, and engaged with things that interest you.

How it works

Over the last 2 weeks, how much of the time did the following apply to you? (Higher numbers mean better wellbeing.)
