Mental Health Resources & Screens

The screens and tests in the links below are intended solely for education and information on symptoms of potential mental health risks, issues or concerns based on the responses you provide, and on possible follow-up options for such risks, issues or concerns. They are NOT formal diagnostic instruments and should not be understood as providing any type of diagnosis nor should it be taken as a substitute for a physician’s advice, diagnosis, or treatment. An accurate diagnosis as well as formal care/treatment recommendations for any mental health conditions or disorders can only be made by a physician, psychologist, or other qualified mental health professional after a thorough evaluation. It is your responsibility to seek proper diagnosis and care from your physician, psychologist, or other qualified mental health professional, should you have any questions or concerns regarding your mental health. The makers and providers of these questionnaires shall not be held liable for any actions or inaction, loss, risk, or consequences, directly or indirectly, from your use and application of any part of these self-administered questionnaires.
