Mental Health America Screening

Mental Health America's screening tool offers free, confidential assessments for depression, anxiety, PTSD, substance abuse, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, and other conditions. Each screening takes just a few minutes and gives you immediate results plus personalized guidance. You can share results with your doctor or therapist to help inform your conversations about what you might need.

This works as a first step if you're wondering whether you should seek professional help, or as a way to track your symptoms over time by retaking the screening. The organization has been around since 1908, and the assessments are based on validated clinical scales, making this more trustworthy than symptom-checking on a general search engine.
