Tomorrow (Thursday, Oct. 5) is National Depression Screening Day (United States). Participants fill out a short, multiple-choice test which is then scored by a professional. The test will indicate if the person may have symptoms of depression; if so, they will be referred to more resources for help.

You can call 1-800-573-4433 to find out if there are any screening sites near you. All testing and results are confidential.

Untreated clinical depression can be very serious - often the hardest part is taking the first step to get help.
