A mental health screening done with a questionnaire is a way to evaluate a person's mental and emotional health.  The patient can answer the questions using a computer or the screening is given by a clinician or staff.  The answers are scored to see if the person may be at risk for a mental health problem. Depending upon the screening results, a follow-up visit can be scheduled to further evaluate the problem.

The screening is a low cost way to check if emotional or behavioral problems could be at the root of a health condition.  The cost of the screening may be included in the price of the doctor’s office visit.
