[Students] National Depression Screening Day

[Smitha Bhat]

ARE YOU ANXIOUS AND OVERWHELMED BY LIFE'S DAILY DEMANDS?

NATIONAL DEPRESSION SCREENING DAY CAN HELP

 

People say college is supposed to be "the time of your life."  You meet
friends that last a lifetime, and have the freedom to do what you want.  But
for many, adjusting college life can be difficult.  Many students are left
feeling stressed, anxious, disconnected, and alone.

 

The A&M-Commerce Counseling Center will be offering free, confidential
screenings for depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety and post-traumatic
stress disorder.  At the screening, you can fill out a questionnaire and
talk with a counselor about your personal situation.  Even if you don't have
a mood or anxiety disorder and are just going through a couple of bad days,
you are invited to come take advantage of the program and learn about what
services are available on campus.  You may learn something that will help
you or a friend in the future.

 

The screenings and information sessions are being held on Thursday, October
6 at the MSC entrance near the cafeteria from 11am-1pm.  Or, call the
Counseling Center at (903) 886-5145 for more information.  In addition,
on-line screenings for depression, bipolar disorder, eating disorders,
post-traumatic stress disorder, alcohol abuse, and generalized anxiety
disorder are available at all times through the Counseling Center's website
(http://www7.tamu-commerce.edu/counseling_center/).
