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.
The following screenings are designed for adults.
If you are under the age of 17 and believe you or one of your friends has depression, talk with a trusted adult (ex: teacher, school counselor, principal, coach, parent or other family member, clergyperson, physician, etc.) who can help you find the help that you need. Never keep talk of suicide a secret even if your friend has asked you to. Take it seriously and seek help immediately from a trusted adult. It is better to risk losing a friendship than to risk losing a friend forever.
