Can someone answer this for me. A PHQ-2 screen was performed. The score was 4 which is a positive screen for depression. Is this a GAF score?
I am putting in a claim SC to service conection for pain for lumbar strain, Degenerative arthritus, Bilateral sciatica legs and bilateral plantarfaciatis feet.
Also have aPHQ-9 score of 13 which is suggestive of moderate depression.
This is from my MH doctor at the VA. I also have this note Mood diss order SC to medical condition (chronic pain). Do I need to have anything else added for my claim. My MH doctor has encouraged me to put in for this for compensation.
