Depression Screening Oct. 2

Saint Mary’s will participate in National Depression Screening Day on Tuesday, Oct. 2.   From 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., students are invited to the Wellness Center to fill out a short questionnaire and meet briefly with a counselor to assess symptoms of mood disorders (depression, anxiety, bipolar). Untreated mood symptoms can lead to missed classes, poor performance, social isolation, and other missed opportunities in students’ college careers.  Understanding the signs and symptoms of mood issues can assist students to seek treatment that will promote their well-being and enable them to gain maximum benefit from their investment in themselves and a SMU education.
