Depressed? Screening Is Tommorow Posted: 09-22-03 14:32pm
National depression screening day is oct.
9, and it can help all americans take
stock of their emotional well-being and
access the information, treatment and
support services they need. No one needs
to suffer in silence. As we tell our
soldiers, asking for help is a sign of
courage, not weakness.
Those who call will get the name and
location of a screening site, where they
will be screened for a range of common
emotional situations that often go
undiagnosed and misunderstood, including
depression, post-traumatic stress
disorder, generalized anxiety disorder and
manic-depression. As part of the
program, attendees will hear an
educational presentation, complete a
written self-assessment and have the
opportunity to talk privately with a
mental health professional.
The program is free and completely
confidential. Nearly 4,000 sites across
the country will participate in this
year's program. The phone lines are
open now. To find a site near you, call
the number set up for annie's mailbox
readers at 1-800-437-1200 (tdd
1-800-697-3800) or visit the web site at
mentalhealthscreening.Org.
