USING SCREENING TOOLS AND RATING SCALES


Please read this: The screening tools and rating scales on this website are not substitutes for professional assessment. They are for educational purposes only, to help give an understanding of symptoms used to diagnose certain mental health conditions. However, diagnosis should be made only by a trained mental health professional after a complete assessment.  A particular score on one of these tests does not mean that you do (or do not) have a particular mental health issue.  Regardless of the score on a screen, we urge you to see your doctor or a mental health professional if you have any concerns.  It may be helpful to print out this scale and take it with you.  Symptoms that suggest suicidal or harmful behaviors should get immediate attention.
