Assessments
Depression
Have you been feeling sad, unmotivated, or
are you having problems concentrating and getting things done? You
may be dealing with depression. The
National Mental Health Association has a helpful website called Depression
Screening, describing the symptoms of depression and its treatment. There
is also a free and confidential depression screening test.
Drug Addiction
Are you worried that a loved one may
have problems with drugs or alcohol? There is an Alcohol Use Test online.
Stress
Stress is our body’s physical, mental,
and chemical way of reacting to situations that frighten, excite, confuse,
endanger or irritate you.
- The cause of stress can be good or bad
- Stress reactors may be so subdued that you may not be aware of them. Other symptoms of stress may be readily identified.
- It’s impossible to go through life without experiencing some kind of stress.
- Stress prepares you to handle things that you are unfamiliar with, or things that appear to threaten you.
