Free & private screenings
Free mental health tests
These are the validated screening tools psychiatrists use at intake, not internet quizzes. Each takes 1-5 minutes, scores instantly, and stays private: your answers never leave your device. A screening is not a diagnosis, but it is a good first step toward one.

Start the test →How these tests work
Each test asks how often symptoms have bothered you over a specific time period and turns your answers into a severity score. The instruments used here are the same ones published in peer-reviewed journals and used in clinical practice. What a screening cannot do is rule out other explanations - thyroid issues, sleep disorders, medication side effects, and other conditions can produce similar symptoms - which is exactly what a full evaluation is for.
Got your results?
If your score was elevated - or the result simply put words to something you have been carrying - a board-certified provider can do a full evaluation and build a plan with you. Most new patients are seen within 1-2 business days, in person in DFW or by video anywhere in Texas and New Mexico. Most insured patients pay $0-$30 per visit.
