Free Mental Health Self-Tests

A few quiet minutes to check in with yourself.

Sometimes it’s hard to tell if what you’re feeling is just a rough patch or something more. These short self-tests can help you put a name to it.

Each one takes about 3 minutes. They’re free and private, and they’re based on screening tools clinicians use every day. Your results aren’t a diagnosis, but they can help you decide if it’s time to talk to someone.

Check if your insurance will cover the cost of treatment

How These Self-Tests Work

Pick the test that fits what you’ve been feeling. Answer each question honestly, based on the time frame listed. You’ll see your score right after you finish, along with what it may mean.

It’s common to relate to more than one test. Anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress often show up together. Feel free to take as many as you like.

What Happens After You Take a Test?

Whatever your score, you don’t have to figure out the next steps alone. Our team in Winchester offers individual therapy, telehealth, and day, half day, and evening programs built around work and family life. A free consultation is a no-pressure way to talk it through.
