Mental Health Self-Assessment Tool
Provided by East Coast Telepsychiatry
Welcome to Your Mental Health Self-Assessment
This brief self-check helps you evaluate whether talking with a mental health professional might benefit you. Answer honestly based on how you've felt over the past month.
Time to complete: 3-5 minutes
What you'll receive: A confidential assessment of your mental health concerns, personalized recommendations, and guidance on whether therapy may be helpful for you.
When to Consider Therapy
Therapy can be beneficial for a wide range of concerns. Consider professional support if you're experiencing:
- Emotional distress: Persistent feelings of sadness, anxiety, anger, or emotional numbness
- Life transitions: Difficulty adjusting to major changes like relationship issues, job loss, or grief
- Behavioral patterns: Engaging in harmful coping mechanisms or struggling with motivation
- Relationship difficulties: Ongoing conflicts with loved ones or feelings of isolation
- Personal growth: Desire to understand yourself better or develop healthier patterns
Remember: You don't need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Many people seek support for personal development, stress management, or navigating everyday challenges.
