Screening for Mental Health, Inc., is a non-profit organization and does not
provide any medical, psychological, diagnostic or treatment services to its
customers or users. For accurate diagnosis of suicidality,
depression and alcohol problems or other mental illnesses, participants need to
call and/or be seen by qualified healthcare professionals. We do not
assume any legal obligation to follow up with individual users.
Screening for Mental Health Inc., its staff and agents, shall not be liable for
claims or damages and expressly disclaims any and all liability of any nature
for any action, or non-action, taken as a result of the information generated
by this website or any of the programs of SMH utilized by the customers,
callers, clients or online users.
Results from the Suicide Risk Questionnaire and Depression Risk Questionnaire
are not diagnostic, but merely indicate the presence, or lack thereof, of
symptoms that are consistent, or inconsistent with depression and/or
suicidality. Negative responses to the questionnaires do not rule out
suicidality and/or depression, and positive responses do not conclusively
establish suicidality and/or depression. A diagnostic evaluation by a
healthcare professional is always necessary to determine whether or not there
is the presence/absence of depression/suicidality.
Should the online user respond in a way that might indicate a serious or
potentially life-threatening problem for themselves or someone else, a webpage
will ordinarily be displayed urging the individual to visit the nearest
emergency room or call 911. Please note that in some cases the webpage may not
be displayed on your computer for technical reasons, and Screening for Mental
Health does not assume any legal obligation to ensure that the webpage is
displayed. Even if the webpage is not displayed, any online
user who believes that he or someone else may have a serious or potentially
life-threatening problem is encouraged to visit the nearest emergency room or
call 911.
