For
18 years, Screening for Mental Health’s National Depression Screening Day®
(NDSD) has offered health care providers evidence-based,
affordable and easy-to-use mental health education and screening resources.
Reaching community members with undetected and untreated mental disorders has
never been more important. Studies show that most Americans wait years before
they seek treatment for a mental health disorder, and many never seek treatment
at all.
NDSD
helps hospitals, social service organizations, government, faith-based, and
advocacy organizations:
-
Screen and educate
members of the community for depression, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD),
bipolar disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder
-
Market services to
community members
-
Educate clinicians about
best practices for assessment and treatment
-
Refer those in need of treatment to mental health services
