NDSD Finishes 2006 with Nearly 450,000 Mental Health Screenings
Once NDSD 2006 activities conclude, nearly 450,000 mental health screenings will
be completed by individuals at 8000 in-person and online sites.
NDSD Mental Health ScreeningTM sites were sponsored by hospitals,
mental health centers, government agencies, social service agencies, advocacy
organizations, colleges, primary care clinics, workplaces, and healthcare
companies.
NDSD screenings include depression, bipolar disorder, generalized anxiety
disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder.
Much of the media surrounding the October screening day featured sleep
disturbance and how it relates to several mental illnesses, especially
depression and bipolar disorder.
SMH would like to thank the 2006 NDSD funding sponsors
whose generosity made the program possible.
Eli Lilly and Company,
Eli Lilly and Company Foundation, Forest
Laboratories, Inc., GlaxoSmithKline,
Janssen, L.P., and
