Screening Tools
A free and anonymous screening tool
is made available to you by Mental Health
America of
Wisconsin.
Click here to take a screening for Depression, Generalized Anxiety, Bipolar or Post-traumatic Stress (for ages 17 and up).
If you are under 17 and believe you or one of your friends has depression, talk with a trusted adult (ex: teacher, school counselor, coach, parent or other family member, clergyperson, physician, etc...).
who can help you find the help that you need. Never keep talk of suicide a secret even if your friend has asked you to. Take it seriously and seek help immediately from a trusted adult. It is better to risk losing a friendship than to risk losing a friend forever.
