## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability mindpulse-symptom-assessment-phq-9-gad-7-e3a6f637
```

Example prompt: I've been feeling really down for the past two weeks — low energy, no motivation, trouble sleeping, and a constant sense of dread — can you run a PHQ-9 and GAD-7 symptom assessment on what I'm describing and tell me how severe it is and what I should do next?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a user needs a structured, evidence-based mental health symptom screen using the clinically validated PHQ-9 (depression) and GAD-7 (anxiety) frameworks, particularly when you need severity classification and actionable next steps rather than general wellness advice or coping techniques.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or too-vague symptom input may result in incomplete scoring
- Symptoms outside depression/anxiety scope may not map cleanly to PHQ-9/GAD-7 frameworks
- Payment failure (x402) if USDC balance insufficient
- Network or server error returning 5xx with no assessment result

## How this service works

Mental health symptom assessment for mental-health and wellness agents. Uses the PHQ-9/GAD-7 framework with severity interpretation and clear next steps.

## Output

Returns a structured assessment including PHQ-9 and GAD-7 framework scores, a clinical severity interpretation (e.g. mild, moderate, severe), and clear recommended next steps or referral guidance based on the symptom profile.
