Understand what's behind your client's PHQ-9 and GAD-7 scores 🧠

Most tools that track PHQ-9 and GAD-7 give you a number and a line on a chart. Upheal reads what actually happened in the session and explains what a score change means for that specific client. Instead of pulling up old forms and comparing scores yourself, you now get a clear picture of how a client is doing over time, all in one place on their chart.

Watch our quick demo video with Leila Anderson, LMFT-S, Upheal's senior clinical product manager:

  • AI progress insights: pairs each new score with your most recent session, so you get the "why" behind a change instead of just the number

  • Scoped to the measure: a GAD-7 insight only discusses anxiety, a PHQ-9 insight only discusses depression, even when a symptom like sleep or low energy shows up in both

  • Quick stats: current score and severity, change since the last submission, change since the first, and an overall trend

  • Score-over-time chart: every submission is plotted, with severity zones (Minimal to Severe) in the background

  • Safety alerts: a score above zero on PHQ-9 item 9 triggers an immediate email and a red banner on the Insights tab

You stay in control of the read: rate any insight with a thumbs up or down, and a thumbs down lets you flag what was off.

To start, add PHQ-9 or GAD-7 to your practice forms and send them from a client's chart or from Practice Forms. Once a client submits one through the Client Portal, their Insights tab fills in on its own, interpretation included.
