National Depression Screening Day is Today!

Posted by GruntDoc on October 6th, 2005

Alerted by Dr. Serani, today is National Depression Screening Day

National Depression Screening Day (NDSD) began fifteen years ago as the first nationwide, community-based mental health screening program. Today it is the largest provider of mental health screening services in the country through its partnership with thousands of community-based, college and primary care screening sites. NDSD has expanded in recent years to offer both in-person and online screening for four of the most common and frequently co-occurring mental disorders: depression, bipolar disorder, generalized anxiety disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder.

If you think you might need a screening, by all means go do it, and don’t wait for this day next year, just go and do it.
