Who Should Take a Depression Screening?

Mental health issues don’t discriminate. You don’t need to be in crisis or at your lowest point to benefit from a screening. In fact, many people discover symptoms they’ve normalized for years.

You might consider taking a screening if you’re experiencing:

*Low mood or lack of motivation
*Increased irritability or fatigue
*Isolation or withdrawal from loved ones
*Trouble functioning at school, work, or home
*Recurring thoughts that life isn’t worth living

Screenings are also helpful if you’re supporting someone else who may be struggling and want to better understand their symptoms.
