Why are mental health screenings important?
Research shows that one in five Wisconsinites will be affected by mental illness this year, however nearly two thirds of those with a diagnosable disorder do not get the treatment and support that would help them recover. Screening provides a quick way to identify whether you may be experiencing symptoms commonly associated with an illness and determine whether follow up with a professional is recommended.
Keep in mind that a screening is not a substitute for a complete mental health evaluation. It does not result in a diagnosis but rather provides an indication of whether or not a person has symptoms consistent with a particular illness.
