The P5 Mental Health project allows the self-assessment of anxious and depressive symptoms as well as access to tools for emotional management, sleep improvement and the adoption of healthy lifestyles. The self-assessment of symptoms is performed using two instruments frequently used in clinical practice: the PHQ-9 to investigate the presence of depressive symptoms and the GAD-7 to investigate the presence of anxious symptoms. Although these tools have relevant informational value, they do not perform the diagnosis or replace the personalized assessment performed by a health professional. This application was developed within the scope of the project "Promoting Mental Health During Pandemic" led by the Institute for Research in Life and Health Sciences (ICVS) of the School of Medicine of the University of Minho, under the coordination of Pedro Morgado, and was funded by the FCT in under the Research4Covid program.
