Why We Exist

Mental health challenges affect millions of people worldwide, yet many barriers prevent individuals from seeking help:

• Stigma and shame surrounding mental health issues
• Limited access to mental health professionals
• Financial constraints that make care unaffordable
• Lack of awareness about mental health conditions
• Uncertainty about whether symptoms warrant professional help

We created Mental Health Screening to address these barriers by offering a judgment-free, private space where anyone can begin to understand their mental health.

What We Offer

Free Screening Tools

Our validated screening questionnaires cover a range of mental health concerns, including:

• Depression
• Anxiety disorders
• Bipolar disorder
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• Eating disorders
• Substance use concerns
• And more

Evidence-Based Assessments

All our screening tools are based on clinically validated instruments used by mental health professionals. While our screenings are not diagnostic tools, they provide meaningful insights that can help you decide whether to seek professional evaluation.

Personalized Resources

After completing a screening, you’ll receive:

• Clear, easy-to-understand results
• Educational information about your concerns
• Curated resources and next steps
• Information about treatment options
• Crisis support resources when needed

Complete Privacy

Your privacy is paramount. Our screenings are:

• Completely anonymous (unless you choose to create an account)
• Confidential and secure
• Never shared with third parties without your consent
• Free from judgment or pressure

Our Approach

Compassionate and Non-Judgmental

We understand that exploring mental health concerns can feel overwhelming or frightening. Our platform provides a supportive, stigma-free environment where you can learn about your mental health at your own pace.

Scientifically Grounded

We partner with mental health professionals, researchers, and clinical experts to ensure our screening tools are accurate, reliable, and culturally sensitive. Our content is regularly reviewed and updated to reflect the latest research and best practices.

Empowering Users

We believe in empowering individuals with knowledge. Our screenings provide information, not diagnoses, helping you make informed decisions about your mental health care.
