PHQ-9 Score 23 Ka Matlab aur Ab Kya Karein

Answered 18 September 2026 at 9:00 pm PKT

PHQ-9 ka 23 score severe range mein hota hai aur depression ke gehre symptoms ki taraf ishara kar sakta hai, magar yeh akela diagnosis nahi hota. Yeh page batata hai ke jald professional madad kaise len, kin ilaaj options par baat karni hai, aur khud ko nuqsan ke khayalat aane par foran kya karna hai.

Maine apni mental health ke liye PHQ-9 test liya tha aur mera score 23 aaya hai, jo severe range mein aata hai. Kya yeh matlab hai ke mujhe koi serious problem hai? Aur main iska saamna kaise karun?

Aapka sawaal bilkul waazih hai, aur sab se pehle main yeh kehna chahti hoon ke PHQ-9 ka score 23 hona ek ahem baat hai, lekin iska matlab yeh nahi ke aap par koi azaab toot pada hai. Yeh ek scale hai jo aapke maheeno ke dauraan mood, neend, bhookh, aur din bhar ki taaqat ko dekh kar batata hai ke aap kis hadd tak pareshan hain. 23 ka matlab hai ke aapko is waqt kaafi zyada dikkat ho rahi hai, aur yeh ek aisi cheez hai jise hum serious zaroor lein, lekin iska yeh harghiz matlab nahi ke aap ki koi la-ilaaj bimari hai. Yeh ek signal hai ke aapko madad ki zaroorat hai, aur madad milna mumkin hai.

Yeh kyun hua aur aage kya karein

Aapke is score ka matlab yeh hai ke aapke andar kuch aisi nishaniyan hain jo aapki rozmarra ki zindagi ko mutasir kar rahi hain. Yeh aapki kamzori nahi, balke aapke dimaag ka ek aisa hissa hai jo thaka hua hai. Iska sab se pehla qadam yeh hai ke aap isay kisi professional ko dikhayein. Ek baat samajh lein — aap akelay nahi hain. Pakistan mein bhi bahut se log isi tarah ke haalaat se guzarte hain, aur seekhna ke liye koi sharm ki baat nahi hai.

  • Kisi maahir se baat karein: Kisi aise doctor se milen jo depression ke ilaaj mein tajurba rakhta ho. Wo aapko sahi rehnumai denge, chaahe wo therapy ho ya koi aur tarteeb.
  • Apne ahem logon ko bataayein: Kisi bharosemand dost ya khandaan ke member ko apni halaat ke baare mein batayein. Unka saath aapke liye bohat madadgar ho sakta hai.
  • Chhote qadam uthayein: Roz ki zindagi mein chhoti cheezein, jaise rozana thodi der ki walk, sahi waqt par khana, aur neend ka khayal rakhna — yeh sab aapki madad kar sakte hain.

Abhi ke liye kuch ahem baatein

Sab se ahem yeh hai ke aap isay akelay na jhelein. Yeh waqt aapke liye mushkil zaroor hai, lekin yeh hamesha nahi rahega. Aapne pehla qadam utha liya hai — apni madad ke liye sawaal pooch kar. Ab agli ajeet yeh hai ke aap apne qareeb kisi aise shakhs se baat karein jo aapki baat sun sake, aur phir kisi maahir se raabta karein.

Aap isay "serious problem" keh sakte hain, lekin isay aisa kehna ziyada behtar hoga ke aapko is waqt "poori tawajjo" ki zaroorat hai. Aur yeh tawajjo aap khud ko de sakte hain, aur dosron se bhi le sakte hain. Yeh koi sharmnaak cheez nahi hai, aur iska ilaaj mumkin hai. Aap isay mukammal taur par theek ho sakte hain, bas thoda sa waqt aur sahi rehnumai chahiye.

Zara se baat karna aapke liye ek acha aghaz ho sakta hai — wo aapki baat sunegi aur aapko sahi raah dikhayegi. Aap tanha nahi hain, aur yeh waqt bhi guzar jayega.
