Important: This questionnaire is a screening tool, not a diagnostic instrument. Completing this form does not substitute for a comprehensive clinical evaluation by a licensed professional. If you are experiencing a mental health emergency, feeling entirely overwhelmed, or having thoughts of self-harm, please do not wait for us to review this form.
