It's hard to put how you feel into words in a short appointment, especially when you're low or on edge. You forget what you meant to say, or play it down. Hea asks the questions in order and puts your answers into a note you can take with you.

1 in 10 UK adults say they have used an AI chatbot for mental health support instead of seeing a trained professional. King's College London Policy Institute (survey of 2,093 UK adults by Focaldata, March 2026), 13 May 2026

How Hea helps

Safety questions first Today

Hea asks about urgent signs and a short set of safety questions before anything else. If you answer yes, it shows the crisis lines at once: Samaritans, NHS 111 (mental health option) and Shout.

The questions of standard questionnaires Today

For low mood, Hea asks the questions of the PHQ-9; for anxiety, the GAD-7; for sleep, questions about your sleep and stress. You answer by buttons. Personal questions come only if you agree, and you can skip them.

A note for your GP, in your words Today

Your answers and your own words go into a note for your GP, with where the NHS says to go. Hea doesn't grade your answers or put them in a band.

Questions people ask

When should I see a GP about low mood?

If you have symptoms of depression for most of the day, every day, for more than 2 weeks, the NHS says to seek help from a GP. It's particularly important to speak to a GP if you have thoughts of suicide or self-harm.

What will a GP ask about depression or anxiety?

A GP asks about your general health, how your mood affects your daily life, and whether you've had thoughts of suicide or self-harm. The NHS says a GP may use a questionnaire to assess your symptoms. For anxiety, a GP asks about your worries and your physical symptoms.

How do I know if it's generalised anxiety disorder?

Your GP decides, after asking about your worries and physical symptoms. The NHS says one of the signs a GP looks for is feeling anxious a lot of the time for at least 6 months, with the worry affecting your daily life.

How can I sleep better?

The NHS suggests going to bed only when you're sleepy, getting up at the same time every day, relaxing for at least an hour before bed, and keeping your bedroom dark and quiet. See a GP if changing your sleep habits hasn't helped, you've had trouble sleeping for months, or it makes it hard to cope.

Will Hea tell me if I'm depressed?

No. Hea doesn't diagnose, grade your answers or put them in a band. The note lists the questionnaire's total for your GP, marked as not a diagnosis, and your GP decides what it means.
