Mental Health America Screening

Mental Health America is a national nonprofit mental health organization. Its MHA Screening program provides online self screening tools and follow up information intended to help people identify possible concerns and consider next steps.

MHA Screening offers online questionnaires covering concerns including depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, substance use and other mental health conditions. After completing a screen, users receive results and links to educational, peer support, provider and treatment resources. The screening itself is not therapy, diagnosis or crisis intervention.

The tools are intended for people who want to check possible mental health symptoms. Different screening instruments have different validated populations and age ranges, so users should review the information provided with the individual screen.

The screening website is available online nationally. It provides information and navigation rather than direct clinical treatment.

Mental Health America describes its screening tools as free. Any therapy, medical care or other outside service reached through follow up resources may have separate eligibility, insurance or payment requirements.

Visit the MHA Screening website, choose the screening tool that best matches the concern you want to explore, answer the questions and review the results and next step information. You do not need to treat a screening result as a diagnosis. Bring the results to a qualified health professional if you want a clinical evaluation.

The online screening tools can be completed at any time. They are automated self screening tools rather than a live helpline, so there is no counselor response or guaranteed follow up appointment.

MHA offers multiple screening tools and Spanish language screening options. Accessibility beyond the features documented on the current screening site should not be assumed without checking the service directly.

MHA reported approximately 5.9 million mental health screens in 2024 and more than 32 million screens since the program launched in 2014. These figures measure use of the screening program, not treatment effectiveness.

A mental health screening cannot diagnose a condition or determine what treatment is appropriate. MHA describes screening as anonymous and confidential, while its privacy documentation also describes voluntary demographic collection and a screening session IP hash. No website can guarantee absolute data security.
