How Our Mental Health Questionnaire Can Help You

Congratulations on deciding to take our free Child Depression test.

Please note: this questionnaire was developed by Sullivan + Associates Clinical Psychology to provide a general overview of how much a particular problem or mental health issue impacts you. It is not meant to be diagnostic or replace a formal mental health assessment by a health care practitioner (i.e. Psychologist, Psychiatrist, etc.). However, feel free to use it as a starting point towards learning about improving a particular problem or mental health issue. If you choose to pursue psychotherapy/counselling or discuss your mental health with your Physician or Nurse Practitioner, sharing your results from this questionnaire would provide valuable information.
