Self-Screening Measures

1/6/2023

 
By Dr. Joti Samra, CEO & Founder of the Psychological Health & Safety (PH&S) Clinic and MyWorkplaceHealth
Keeping track of our current mental health condition can be difficult. We may be experiencing issues with our mental health but not realize it for several reasons. Such as; living with it our entire life and not knowing the difference, having these problems come on so gradually that we do not notice them, having others telling us that we “are fine”, attributing the issue to something else, or just not thinking that the issue is concerning. This is where self-screening measures can come in handy.

What are “Self-Screening Measures”? 

These different self-screening measures work by asking you a range of questions (normally multiple choice). Your answers to these questions will help the test asses your current mental condition.

Important: While these different measures may be good at giving an assessment of your mental health, they should not be taken as fact. In other words, if you believe you are having mental health problems, it’s best to see a professional for an assessment.

What’s Your Stress Index?
CMHA.ca/Whats-Your-Stress-Index
A quiz that is based entirely on stress. Stress is one of those areas of mental health that can go unnoticed sometimes, but it is also one of the biggest factors for developing a more severe mental health problem. Just like the other quizzes, this one should only be used as a starting point for assessing your stress level.

Work-Life Balance Quiz
​

In society today it is becoming more and more common for individuals to have multiple responsibilities/jobs in their daily life. Someone may have to deal with their work responsibilities, while also being a parent, supporting their partner and possibly their friends. This can make it hard for someone to find time to focus on themselves. This quiz is designed to help you figure out how well you are balancing the many different aspects of your life.
