Online screenings can be a helpful tool to gain insight of our overall mental health. If you have been wondering about your mental health, an online screening could be a good place to start.

The online self-screening provided reviews general mental health concerns and provides results for the following categories:

  • Depression (Feelings of isolation, apathy, worthlessness, sadness)
  • Generalized Anxiety (Racing thoughts, tension, possible panic attacks)
  • Social Anxiety (Feelings of shyness, self-consciousness, and social discomfort)
  • Academic Distress (Lack of confidence in academics, concentration difficulties, problems completing school-work)
  • Eating Concerns (Preoccupation with food, concern about overeating)
  • Frustration (Problems with temper, anger, irritability)
  • Family Distress (Stress in family relationships)
  • Alcohol Use (Overuse of alcohol, negative consequences from drinking)
  • Thoughts of Ending My Life (Ranges from passing thoughts to serious suicidal thoughts with intentions to act)

Please be aware that the online self-screening provided is anonymous, and it is considered informational and NOT diagnostic in nature.
