Mental Health Screening
Over the last 2 weeks, how often have you been bothered by the following problems?
Section 1: Mood & Interest
1. Little interest or pleasure in doing things?
2. Feeling down, depressed, or hopeless?
Section 2: Worry & Anxiety
3. Feeling nervous, anxious, or on edge?
4. Not being able to stop or control worrying?
This is a screening tool, not a clinical diagnosis.
What is a Mental Health Screening?
A screening tool is like a thermometer for your emotions. It doesn’t give a final diagnosis, but it tells you if your “emotional temperature” is high. At DIHOD Software House, we’ve built this for Creshy Tools to promote mental health awareness in Karachi, where work stress can often impact well-being.
Signs to Watch For
Depressive Symptoms
- Persistent sadness or “empty” mood.
- Loss of interest in hobbies (coding, filming, etc.).
- Changes in appetite or sleep patterns.
Anxiety Symptoms
- Constant sense of dread or “on edge” feeling.
- Physical shaking or racing heartbeat.
- Difficulty concentrating on tasks.
Next Steps & Support
If your scores are consistently high, remember that you are not alone. There are several ways to manage these feelings:
- Talk to Someone: Share your feelings with a trusted friend or family member in DHA or Clifton.
- Professional Help: Consult a licensed psychologist or psychiatrist for a detailed evaluation.
- Routine Matters: Regular exercise and a stable sleep cycle (using our Sleep Calculator) can significantly improve mood.
