National Depression Screening Day encourages people of all ages to take a few moments to reflect on their emotional well-being and consider completing a depression screening. It’s a simple step that can open the door to support, healing, and hope.
Why Screenings Matter
Depression is one of the most common mental health conditions, yet it often goes undiagnosed and untreated. Many people may dismiss their symptoms as “just stress” or think they need to push through on their own. Screenings are a valuable tool because they help identify symptoms early and encourage people to seek professional care. Just like routine physical checkups, mental health check-ins are an important part of overall wellness.
Signs to Watch For
A screening can help bring awareness to common signs of depression, such as:
- Persistent sadness or emptiness
- Loss of interest in favorite activities
- Changes in sleep or appetite
- Difficulty concentrating
- Fatigue or low energy
- Withdrawing from friends, family, or coworkers
Recognizing these signs doesn’t mean someone has depression, but it’s an important signal that additional support may be needed.
