Depressive States
Navigator
Explore possible contributing factors and what may be worth looking into next.
Low mood, loss of motivation, fatigue, disturbed sleep and difficulty concentrating rarely tell the whole story. Life events, daily habits and physiological processes may all play a part.
The Navigator helps you organize what you are experiencing, consider connections that may have been overlooked, and prepare for a more informed conversation with a qualified professional.
From your answers to a clearer picture
No medical knowledge or lab results are needed. Answer a series of questions and receive a personalized educational report.
Tell us what you notice
Questions cover sleep, eating patterns, physical symptoms, hormonal context, ongoing stress and other aspects of your day-to-day health.
Explore possible connections
The Navigator selects relevant explanations based on your answers. These are areas to explore, not diagnoses or probability estimates.
Bring useful questions to your clinician
Where report sections mention tests that could be discussed with a professional, those tests are also collected in one list without duplicates.
When your symptoms seem to be part of a bigger picture
The Navigator may help you bring structure to a situation that feels complex or difficult to explain.
You have noticed low mood, persistent fatigue, reduced motivation, sleep problems, emotional flatness or difficulty focusing.
You want to consider both psychological circumstances and possible physical contributors, rather than settling on one explanation too soon.
Your symptoms persist, fluctuate or return, and the connections between them are still unclear.
You would like to prepare for a more focused appointment and know which questions may be useful to discuss.
What the Navigator cannot tell you
This is not a diagnostic tool. It cannot determine whether you have depression, assess its severity or subtype, or diagnose a medical condition, hormonal disorder or nutrient deficiency.
If a topic appears in your report, that does not mean you have the condition described.
It also does not:
- identify the one true or most likely cause of your symptoms;
- confirm or rule out any disease;
- order tests or prescribe medicines, supplements or treatment;
- advise you to change or stop a treatment you have been prescribed;
- replace assessment by a doctor, mental health professional or other qualified clinician.
What this Navigator is not designed for
The Navigator focuses on possible factors that have not yet been established. It is not intended to revisit a diagnosis you already have, monitor the course of a known illness, decide whether that diagnosis is correct or choose a treatment.
Having a diagnosed condition does not automatically prevent you from exploring other unexplained concerns. However, questions about an established condition and its treatment belong with the healthcare professional managing it.
It is also not appropriate for emergencies or situations requiring urgent medical or psychiatric assessment.
Starting points for discussion, not clinical conclusions
Each report section is selected from your answers. The sections are not ranked by likelihood and do not establish that any of the factors described actually apply to you.
Some may be relevant; others may not. The aim is to help you consider the wider picture and decide what, if anything, you would like to raise with a qualified professional.
If your condition is worsening significantly, seek professional help rather than waiting to complete this questionnaire. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, contact local emergency services. The Navigator is not designed for crisis situations.
