Introduction
The Self-Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ) is a mental health screening tool developed by the World Health Organization (WHO). It is designed to identify common mental disorders, including depression, anxiety-related disorders, and somatoform disorders, and could be particularly useful in primary healthcare and low-resource settings.
The SRQ helps health workers and researchers quickly and effectively assess mental health concerns through a standardizes, easy-to-administer format, making it a valuable tool for early detection and intervention. This questionnaire supports global mental health initiatives by providing a cost-effective, culturally adaptable, and evidence-based approach to mental health screening.
