mental health screening tools

Mental health screening tools are questionnaires or assessments designed to identify potential signs of mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression, or stress. They are used by healthcare professionals to gather information about a person's feelings, thoughts, and behaviors in a quick, structured way. These tools do not provide a diagnosis but help determine if further evaluation or support is needed. They are useful for early detection and guiding appropriate treatment or referrals, promoting mental well-being by catching concerns early and encouraging open discussion about mental health.
