October 10, 2024 – Depression Screening Available

If you think you may be struggling with depression, we will be offering depression screenings from 10 am -5 pm Eastern time on our HIPAA compliant Zoom. Registration will be available in September.

Who Should Get Screened?

People suffering from depression often experience some of these key symptoms:

• A persistent sad, anxious or “empty” mood
• Sleeping too little, early morning awakening, or sleeping too much
• Reduced appetite and weight loss, or increased appetite and weight gain
• Loss of interest or pleasure in activities once enjoyed
• Restlessness or irritability
• Difficulty concentrating, remembering or making decisions
• Fatigue or loss of energy
• Thoughts of death or suicide

Screenings are not a professional diagnosis. Screenings point out the presence or absence of depressive symptoms and provide a referral for further evaluation if needed. You should see your doctor or a qualified mental health professional if you experience five or more of these symptoms for longer than two weeks or if the symptoms are severe enough to interfere with your daily routine.
