Now you can go online in the comfort of your own home and take a short survey to see if you have symptoms consistent with depression, general anxiety, post-traumatic stress or bipolar disorder.
Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital offers free, confidential online mental health screening that includes information about local resources and links to educational information about a variety of mental health issues.
Nearly 19 million Americans suffer from depression, but more than two-thirds of those suffering from this wide-spread illness never even try to get treatment.
“Depression is very misunderstood”
But unlike having the “blues” or just feeling down, if the symptoms last for most of the day and for two or more weeks, you may be experiencing depression--and you can’t just shake it off or will it away. You need counseling and may require medication.
But while we can tell someone that we have a cold, the flu, or even something serious like Cancer, we just don’t feel comfortable telling others that we have a mental health problem.
That’s why Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital is offering free, confidential online mental health screening.
Now anyone with access to the Internet can go online and take a short survey to see if they have symptoms consistent with depression, general anxiety, post-traumatic stress or bipolar disorder.
Immediately after your online screening, you’ll discover information about local Santa Clarita mental health resources and you’ll be able to access educational information about mental health problems.
“Confidential online mental health screening is a quick way for anyone get help and to get started on the road to dealing with their mental health issues” say Dougherty.
