Screening for mental health is just as important as screening for other physical health issues!  Most of us go for a physical checkup once a year, but don't think twice about a mental health checkup.  Sometimes symptoms can sneak up on us gradually over time and we don't notice them until they start causing us problems.  Other times, symptoms come on rapidly and we are overwhelmed how to handle them.  We offer several mental health screens on this website to offer you a quick way to assess how you are doing in several key areas.  This is not a substitute for a full mental health assessment nor is it intended to replace mental health or medical care.  Only an independently licensed mental health or medical professional can provide a mental health diagnosis and treatment.  However, knowledge is power and these screening tools can help you become more aware of potential symptoms and alert you to seek help.

​

ANXIETY SCREEN:  Please review the following statements and see if any are true for you:

• I feel anxious, nervous, and/or on edge

• I have difficulty sleeping due to worrying

• I worry too much about different things

• My family and friends and family refer to me as a worrywart

• I have trouble relaxing

• I am so restless that it is hard to sit still

• I am easily annoyed and irritable

• I'm always afraid that something awful might happen

• I get so nervous in certain situations that I avoid those situations

• I often have a lump in my throat, knot in my stomach, sweating, or other physical symptoms that I associate with anxiety

• I sometimes experience feelings of panic and I worry that I am dying or won't be able to get help

• I try not to leave my home because I am afraid I will have these panic attacks in public

If any of these statements are true for you and are affecting your ability to fully enjoy life, parent, socialize, work, or go to school, then it may be time to set up a mental health assessment.  Please contact us today at East Coast Counseling, LLC.  You can set up an intake appointment in less than 5 minutes on our online patient portal.  You could also go old school and call for an appointment!  Either way, we look forward to helping you feel better.
