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.
