Mental Health America’s Mental Health Tests
Mental Health America offers several screening tools to help you assess your mental health. According to their website, “Online screening is one of the quickest and easiest ways to determine whether you are experiencing symptoms of a mental health condition. Mental health conditions, such as depression or anxiety, are real, common and treatable. And recovery is possible.”



Needing help with your mental health is nothing to be ashamed about. According to Scientific American, 80% of people will experience a mental health crisis at some point in their lives. These crises could be addressed or avoided by practicing daily brain health habits.
While most of us will go through a temporary mental health episode, it’s important to know that 1 in 4 of us has a mental health condition that stays with us our whole lives. Let’s take advantage of the wealth of resources in Palm Beach County that can help us manage our brain health!
