Anxiety and Depression Screening

A First Step Toward Understanding How You Feel

Persistent worry, low mood, or a loss of interest in everyday life can be difficult to put into words. Screening offers a starting point to explore what you’ve been experiencing and whether a more detailed evaluation may be helpful.

More Than a Questionnaire

Screening may use brief questions about your mood, worries, sleep, energy, and daily functioning. Your answers can highlight concerns worth discussing, but a screening score alone does not diagnose anxiety or depression. A clinician considers your experiences, health history, and other possible contributors before recommending next steps.

When Might Screening Be Helpful?

You can ask for support even if you’re unsure what is causing the way you feel.

Ongoing Worry

Feeling frequently anxious, on edge, or unable to ease persistent worries.

Changes in Mood

Feeling low, losing interest in activities, or noticing a change in motivation.

Daily Life & Wellbeing

Changes in sleep, energy, concentration, or functioning that concern you.

Understanding Can Lead to Support

Screening helps begin a conversation about your needs. Depending on the findings, your clinician may discuss:

  • A more detailed clinical evaluation
  • Other factors that may affect mood or anxiety
  • Appropriate therapy or treatment options
  • Follow-up care or referrals when needed
