Mental Health & Depression
What is it?
This screening is informational, not diagnostic. Your screening can indicate only whether you may have symptoms of any of the following disorders: depression, bipolar disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, post traumatic stress disorder, eating disorders, alcoholism or other common mental health conditions. Following your screening you will be provided with recommendations and referral information.
Why?
Despite the high prevalence of mental health and substance use problems, too many Americans go without treatment – in part because their disorders go undiagnosed. Regular screenings in primary care and other healthcare settings enables earlier identification of mental health and substance use disorders, which translates into earlier care. Screenings should be provided to people of all ages, even the young and the elderly.
