Did you know that May is National Mental Health Month? And have you ever thought about having a mental health “checkup”?
Too often, when we think of our health we think of physical ailments – but our mental health is just as important, if not more so. In fact, if you’re depressed, for example, all kinds of physical aches and pains and other symptoms can follow.
Mental health month is the perfect time to take a free, anonymous screening for a variety of mental health disorders, including depression, anxiety or alcohol.
The program is sponsored by Bedford Youth and Family Services and is offered 24/7. Go to www.mentalhealthscreening.org/screening/BYFS to take your free self-assessment. The screenings are not diagnostic but rather a great first step to appraising your mental health.
And encourage your family and friends to give a little time and attention to their mental health as well. Let them know about the screenings and how simple they are.
