Counseling Center Screens For Depression, Anxiety

The Counseling Center will offer free screenings for depression and anxiety today (October 6) from 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. in Bosch 105.  Students have the opportunity to complete an anonymous survey and meet with a counselor to review the results of their screening.  Online screenings are also available here.  Students may also review their results from the online screening with a counselor during center walk-in hours today from 11 a.m. – 4 p.m.

This screening offers students insight into symptoms of depression and anxiety that they may be experiencing, and provides information about treatment and referrals, if necessary.  Some of the questions typical of the screening include:

  • Have you lost interest in activities that you used to enjoy?
  • Do you have trouble sleeping or eating?
  • Do you deliberately avoid social situations?
  • Does your mood fluctuate between “high” and hopeless?
  • Do you experience unexplained aches and pains?

The Counseling Center encourages all students who may be experiencing symptoms of depression and anxiety to participate in the screening.  Help is available for those who seek it.
