NDSD is designed to call attention to mood and anxiety disorders on a national level, to educate the public and clinicians about their symptoms and effective treatments, to offer individuals the opportunity to be screened for the disorders, and to connect those in need of treatment to the mental health care system. Each fall, thousands of health care providers throughout the country conduct NDSD events that reach roughly 200,000 individuals with educational resources, and screen more than 100,000 people for mood and anxiety disorders. In addition, more than 350,000 mood and anxiety disorder screenings will be conducted this year through our year-round, interactive screening programs.

Note:
Locally, the Liberty Senior Center at 251 East 700 South will provide free screenings to seniors age 55 and older from 9:00am until 2:00pm.
