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.
Depression is just anger without enthusiasm.
