Depression screening available Oct. 20

Depression screening will be offered to SMU students and employees from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 20, in the Wellness Center.

Participants will have an opportunity to view a video presentation about depression and other mood disorders, complete a short screening inventory, talk privately and confidentially with a counselor from Counseling Services, and receive printed information about mood disorders and resources for treatment.

Depression screening can help participants determine if their symptoms constitute clinical depression and can help direct them to suitable treatment. No appointment is necessary.
